I am 21 and I wasn’t able to go away from home for college. Ever since I was able to remember I’ve helped my parents and tried to contribute to the household. But the thing is that I’m ready to move out and move in with my boyfriend but I’m afraid of how they’ll take it. I want it to go well but I’m just nervous if they’ll think I’m just ditching them when I’m reality I finally want to do something for myself and I know and feel that right now is the time for me to move on to the next step of my life. Is there any advice that anyone could give me to help me find a way to tell them? Update: I told my parents and talked to them but my dad isn’t talking to me and hasn’t said anything about it either.
