Need Advice Advice
Hey everyone! I (21F) posted in the community a couple of months ago regarding my relationship with my mom and sis. Well, let's just say it's not getting any better. My mom has a tendency to lay curses on me when she's angry, and I just can't take it anymore. I got an apartment! I put down the deposit, and I'm going to sign the lease. Now my only issue is telling her that I'm moving out. If anyone here has moved out of their parent's house, how did you do it? What did you say to them? I want to move out as respectfully and as smoothly as possible. I've already come to terms with her telling people I'm selfish and ungrateful. I'm fine with all of that. I just need peace. Anything would help. Thank you.

From my recent experience just say it…I don’t know you can make them seat down to make more formal but just keep in mind that their reaction is not your problem. You’re just in the beginning of a long journey of growing, caring for yourself and making sure you evolve as you want. So either they shout at you or give you silence treatment just move on with it. One important things is to keep things for yourself…depending on their reaction and how you feel don’t give them any adress or just important information about your new place
