My parents were incredibly liberal but I still found it very hard to tolerate any intrusion into my mind or attempts to control me. I ended up remaining in my room as much as possible and leaving home as soon as legally old enough. Independence was everything

Fortunately, my father was exactly the same so he understood and I didn't feel like a freak so I kept in touch with them after I left. I don't think I would have done had they been even averagely intrusive.

They don't have that right as children. They simply can't if you're going to do your job as a parent. I have to know if they're doing their homework, being bullied at school, smoking, doing drugs. Their welfare is my responsibility until they can care for themselves. CPS says so

But they don't have to tell you their feelings. And you can't order this anyway. They will just lie. I really think you need to give them some space.
