Posts: 194 | August 16th, 2008 at 06:36am Recently, I've been offered a place to stay. My parents and I have serious issues, and I'm constantly depressed and confused in the house I live in.
There are a few factors that I'd rather not speak about for reasons why I want to get out.
I do not blame my parents, yet I have nothing else to blame for why I want to go, either.
I do love them, but I don't want to live with them. This is not just some silly teenage angst thing, so please do not tell me it's because of my age.
I want to know how to tell them I'm moving out, without leaving a letter like a coward.
Do I tell them the day I leave?
Do I tell them now, or more close to the date I'm leaving?
Any suggestions I would be incredibly grateful for. |

Living somewhere without your parents is hard. You might want to think about it a whole lot before you really do move out. And in my opinion, leaving would just feed your depression. Nobody else can love like your parents, dear.
I say, tell them what's on your mind as soon as possible, watch for their reaction, then decide. |

Posts: 194 | August 16th, 2008 at 06:52am I would love for them to be able to love me like that, but it's an incredibly complicated situation.
I've thought about this for at least a month and a half. It's only until now that I've actually got a stable place to go. |

Since you're sure that you really just need to get out of your house, tell them now.
WHen are you planning on going? |

It's so kind of them, but I'm making sure they're ready before I come and live with them. |

Posts: 1384 | August 16th, 2008 at 07:11am Well, if I were you, I'd tell them a few days before these people are ready.
Sorry if I keep changing my mind. 
Just so if they decide to disown you, you'll be ready. 
If you don't mind me asking, is the problem with your parents? Is it something they do?
You never know, maybe they're willing to change for you. |

They make living in this house hell for me, except I'm so stupid that I don't want to blame it on them, I'd rather blame myself. |

But like I've said before, just tell them straight a few days before you're ready to go. 
Good luck.  If you even need somebody to talk to, I'm here. |

Posts: 194 | August 16th, 2008 at 07:19am Thank you so much.
My only problem still standing is what I'm going to tell them. Oh, lord. |
