How do you tell a parent that you want to move out?

Question

I'm almost 17 and I'm just tired of how my mom is...I've always been around her and she's driving me up the fcking walls, I get a call this morning at 9am (mind you, I'm on summer break), I dont even so much as a ''Hi'' she just starts going on telling me to clean this and this and that...but wait, you'll say ''Oh, you're just overreacting'' ...eh, even if I am...she does this all the time...literally, telling me to clean stuff that I dont make messes for, she b*****s whenever I stay in the house, then she b*****s whenever I dont get out with friends. I'm just all around sick of her. I've thought about this before, but then I think ''she only has me living in this house right now, she'll be lonely'' and it never gets said...but then later I'll think...she has a boyfriend...she can get over it and I'll just get really mad and just go into an implosive attitude...so honestly, how would I tell her?

Answer 1

Hun, I wish I could tell you how to run your life, and tell you that, stay at home as long as possible. I moved out for the same reason, but when I left, I told my mom she was a good for nothing fat @ss. she helps out little around the house, and is always gambling with her "boyfriends" parents (her and father are married but living apart, there will be a divorce within the next few years)

Then it hit me, she could be gone tomorrow, and never know that I loved her.

My mom was a control freak and boarder line abusive growning up.

I know where you are coming from, but please think about this for a while,

When do you turn 18?

Do you have money saved up for a deposit on an apartment

Do you have a job that pays more the the state minimum?

Can you afford to pay $500+ for rent, another $100 or even more on food. What about electricity, water, cable, trash?  What about gas to get to work.

When you think about it, is not having any money, worth losing your relationship with your mom?

Seriously, think about it. Good luck, You'll make the right choice.
