Moving Out?

[sarahkim]

How does one break it to their mother that they are planning to move out and take the year off? Especially when a lot of anger is going to be anticipated

Assert yourself. She'll need to accept it. It's for you, not her.

Your rambling is awesome.

I support you.

Worst case scenario is we fake a kidnapping.

I think something that will help is to tell her and then give her time to assimilate it while you still live with her. That way, she can get used to the idea of you leaving, but your current presence may be a comfort to her, as you are still in her sight and well off, and maybe she can see you as your own individual. Maybe?
