Hi Matt, you are a good guy and don't need people dragging you down, it seems like you have stood up for yourself with what you did. Maybe you went to an extreme as far as boundary setting goes, maybe that extreme was needed, maybe you will now form a relationship with these people on a different footing now, I don't know.
I think you are right to look at why you give them so much much power over you. Of course, part of it just comes with the fact that they are your parents/family!
Whatever the outcome it seems like a big shift in conciousness has happened for you and that is great!
