I am certain that my relationship is ready for that step where we live together. It is more convenient because of distance, we are very comfortable with each other and most of all we are young adults. My boyfriend and I are going on two years, originally we wanted to wait until we were together 3-5 years but opinions changed.

I want to move out of my narcissistic mother’s household, although I love her and care about her. She has always tore me down mentally and verbally abuses me by making inappropriate comments about my relationship, my sexuality and overall my whole being.

I never have a day where I feel comfortable at my home, there is reasons but the biggest one is my mom expecting me to be like my older sisters where I live a certain lifestyle/views. Whenever there is the chance, my sisters mainly the eldest emphasizes how I had a easier upbringing compared to her because of my “disease” aka my disorder which hurts my feelings because I want to believe I am normal like everyone else despite what I have!

It offends me even more because I was always scared of my mom! She is that voice in my head telling me “if you do this, people will think this of you..”

“Don’t be in that situation or else it defines you to be this and others won’t like you”

My self esteem lessens when I am around my mom. And I want to get away from it. The only problem is how do I tel her, idk how to proceed with my plans of moving out. I am afraid of her reaction.
