Is it normal that my family provides almost everything for me at age 29?

  • There's no need to tell people this first of all, they're gonna think you're a spoilt, lazy squatter.
    If you're in need of their support then it's great if they're so willing to help out. You have loving parents.
    However you should probably try your best to get a bit more indepedent. If you have a parttime job, help out with rent. I've helped out with rent even while being unemployed and it's not like you need much money yourself since you don't buy your own food and other necessities. Therapy can probably help with many things that can build your independence and maybe try living alone if you can afford to find a place, if it doesn't work your parents would probably let you move back.

    It's easy for parents to get overprotective and it makes you even more comfortable being less indepedent than you could probably be with the right strategies. I'm sure you would feel better and more confident in your own abilities if you tried to depend less on your parents.
