So, I’m going to be honest. I’m so ******* ready to ghost my parents for awhile after I move out. I’m sorry, but I just really need some space from them. I’m going to be honest - their views of life really bug me to no end from time to time. Like, there are days I just feel like when their mind is set to something, they don’t take the time to even think about it. Just set their minds and jump to conclusions. Well, I’ve just had it honestly. I’m ghosting them for at least 6 months.
I know it’s rough. I moved out when I was 19 because I couldn’t stand my father and his drinking. And once I went a whole year without talking to him.
But staying mad at my dad didn’t do me any good, and staying mad at your folks won’t help you either.
If you can move out, and put a little distance between you and them, that’s a plus. I always felt the sooner anyone can leave home and strike out on their own, the better.
But don’t take your anger with you.
We all go through a phase where we’re young and think we know everything and our parents know nothing. That was me at 18. I had a LOT to learn.
If you can move out, I’d help you pack.
