How to Deal with Parents Interfering with Your Relationships

I'm young but I've had my own struggles with my parents trusting me, not to mention that up until a little while ago they were still very controlling, so naturally I read a lot on the subject because I was concerned my friends and boyfriend were turning away from me. Eventually, I managed to solve my own problems with them.
Experience
Been there. Trust me.
