Once again, CHeese seems to be one step ahead of me, and my alter ego:)

Though I knew two. One gave birth to me. The other one I married after moving 2,000 miles away from my mom, saying proudly how "over it" I was.

Freud sucks, man :D

In all seriousness, what made you ask the question? Who is freakishly controlling in your world?

Sorry; you asked how we deal with them.

First, for me, pertains to what role they have in my life. If they are merely in the outer circle, I step away.

if they are in the inner circle; I will choose from a range that includes: stepping away; tolerating for small periods; and speaking my mind directly.

If they are in my immediate career or familial circle, then details are really important as there is not a general approach that works all the time.

Would love to learn more.

I worked with one, too.  you just gotta let them get on with it and walk away from them when you can.  There's no curing a control-freak :/O

My wife's mother - limited interaction is how I deal with it.  My wife gets that way every once in a while.  I just put it down before it gets started.  I don't do drama!

If the control freak doesn't have a direct impact on my life - I just ignore it

I deal with one in a work situation every day. I avoid contact as much as possible and only interact with this person when I absolutely have to. I just try to keep it all professional and stay detached.
