yes! I'm in my 40's and my mom still tries to force hugs and physical contact with me. The thing is, I really enjoy physical contact. What I don't enjoy is having it FORCED ION ME. And then when she does hug me, it's like when a person is drowning, and they cling to the person trying to save them and end up dragging them both down. I hate it.

My partner and I make sure our kids know that they never have to accept unwanted touch, or even comments.
