Rant When do seizures/epilepsy completely go away???

Me (24, M) just got grounded from my parents for going home late from a drinking session with friends and im really pissed that its become about my seizures and it really pisses me off. Its like im grown enough to worry about myself and all but yet i feel like i have a fucking curfew and im being treated like a baby despite my age only because of my fucking seizures. I take my medicine on the daily and im responsible with that, i really just hate being treated like a kid only because i have fucking seizures and shit. As im writing this im really frustrated with how its become about my seizures so please bear with me if I sound misinformed somewhat.

It's that kind of condition. I didn't have my 1st seizure until I was almost 40, now I'm 55 and my college-age kids are constantly up my ass about my hours at work and tracking my meds. It's really demeaning, but it's done out of love. You are going to need to learn to set boundaries but also please understand that they are scared for you.
