AITA for Moving Out Against My Parents' Wishes?
I'm (20F) planning to move out of my parents' house in a small town to live with my boyfriend in a city about an hour away. I’ve been open about my plans, and I’m financially preparing for the move, but my parents are not handling it well.
They’ve always been super overprotective—tracking my location, wanting to know my every move, and generally treating me like I’m still a kid. Now that I’m actually trying to gain independence, they’re making me feel like the worst daughter ever. They’ve told me I’m being irresponsible, that I won’t be able to handle bills (even though I already budget for my medical expenses, student loans, and other costs), and that I’ll regret leaving. They even suggested I wait years before moving out, which just isn’t realistic for me.
I know they’re probably just worried,especially since i also have to take alot of meds just to enjoy my days.I even doing extra chores around the house with my parents to show it's okay. but it’s exhausting constantly justifying my decision. I want to start my own life, and I know I can make it work. But now they’re making me feel guilty, like I’m abandoning them or making a mistake.
AITA for leaving even though they don’t approve?
