Family making fun

My family members still laugh at me, my autoagression, I had issues with as a kid and teenager. Sometimes I dream of switching my phone number without letting them know. But they know where I live. My mom interrupts me and corrects me whenever I have an opinion different than hers. My duty is always having the same opinion as her. Then she can say with a wide smile, that im exactly like her and we understand each other perfectly.  No, it's far from truth. My issue with her is also that I have no chance in any discussion becauseof the processing speed. I'm basically much slower than her. In fact it's only around maybe 10 years ago, that I realised that I can form my own opinion and also say it out loud, it's still challenging for me. I was blocked my entire childhood and youth. Now, whenever I say something that does not fit with my mom's opinion,  I'm being difficult,  or I'm basically wrong or sheis very much amazed, when the change in me occurred. I have no power and no idea how to deal with them. I also feel like I have no personality.  I'm sorry for thispost, if anyone knows how to deal, or has similar experience, can answer. I will be grateful. 

Parents
  • I have a similar experience with my mother. She has always tried to "mould" me into the image of her perfect son, even though I am anything but a good fit for that mould. It's why I never feel like I can talk to her about matters such as my genderfluidity or opinions; she just will not accept them. "Agree to disagree" is all she'll say, even on matters where she is provably wrong.

    Living with both my parents is absolutely maddenning. They are the stereotypical Baby Boomers, and nothing I say can convince them to look at the world outside their extremely blinkered views or to understand why I am the way I am.
