I will attempt a serious reply too, since I think the original question was serious.
I was watching Dr Phil once (I say this because I do not intend to take credit for this idea), and he was talking with parents and their children. Anyway, he said that sometimes people get a kind of "sunburn" from too much exposure (obviously to each other, but you get the connection...) Anyway, if you've ever been sunburnt you know that ANY kind of contact to your skin is excruciating and feels a lot stronger than it really is. So even though you or your parents might not be doing anything "wrong" per se, your feelings are just inflamed and overly-sensitive.
The cure for sunburn? Cover up (ie: take a break from the sun - move out) and then when you go back outside again wear sunscreen (visit them, then leave again).
I know where you are coming from. I just about went insane when my mum visited us for two weeks in March. When she left, I bawled like a baby. It's hard because there is a very real bond there obviously, but you just need space between you.
