I remember often sleeping on my parents bed during my middle school years... I remember doing that since I was like 8...

Idk if this is why I have separation anxiety issues as a young adult...

Yes it's pretty weird to sleep with your parents as a teenager. I'd call it a red flag.

Probably.

I 100% agree with the commenter who suggested a mental health professional. This is not an attack or insult, it is a serious suggestion of what seems like the right move.

    I don't know. It doesn't seem normal or healthy. A mental health professional would know more. It does sound correct to me what the other person said about teenagers being at a stage in development where they are supposed to be seeking more independence. But again I'm not a professional.

    You literally said you have a mental health issue (seperation anxiety) and asked if an unusual household habit might be a contributing cause.

    Going to a therapist is definitely worth considering.
