Re: Want to move out
This happens. It’s hard for many parents to let go. But I think if you want the independence, then I think you should pursue it. If you don’t do it now, you will need to later, so why not start the process now? I’m not sure that you necessarily need to move out. They just need to understand that it’s ok if you determine your own routine. They need to see that you still respect them and consider them. They are not irrelevant to you. You will need to start saying to them that on such-and-such day/night I am doing this. I will be back at X time. You can reach me @… You need to make sure to always be honest with them. And try not to avoid their calls/texts, because that will just increase their anxiety. When they see you are not cutting them off, but rather involving them in a new stage of your life, they will hopefully relax a little. I’m not saying they will ever encourage you to do those things, but they will accept them iA.
