How do you tell your parents that you are now an adult?

i have been on my own since i was 17.. even though the 1st 2 years was at a boarding school (a-levels), and the next 3 years was at Uni (in campus accomodation).. and since i got back from UK.. and yet, my parents still dictates what i should do and how.. not that i dont appreciate it of course, as i still ask them abt the littlest stuff most of the time anyway.. also it doesnt help that i've been away for so long, that i feel guilty enough that i would listen to them just to compensate..

There are times when i think i am adult enough to live my own life.. yet the other half of the time i'm waiting for someone to hold my hand to go through life.. maybe having siblings would have helped, giving me some peer advice and whatnots.. not that i'm not getting those from friends, but you know, no one else knows your own family like you do..

anyway, being the dutiful daughther that i am.. (i hope).. will try my best to accomodate them & their wishes as much as i can.. with the Hari raya coming, i just wanna say that i'm so sorry.. i have been causing you both a lot of pain this year.. even though not thru any fault of mine (mostly).. hopefully the future will be brighter for us.. dont worry too much, take care of yourselves.. Allah will see us thru these trying times..
