What do you do when your parents can't let you "leave the nest," and even try to tell you that you may not move out.

It is so very hard to put into your children everything you have & breathe & then just let them go especially for moms i think. Just as you will need time to adapt on how to live alone & do all on your own you have to give us a chance to get used to letting go. Its not that we are'nt happy for you & proud its just we will ALWAYS think of our young as "Our babies"

Depending on where you live and how old you are, most places at the age of 18 you are considered, in the eyes of the law, an adult. This means you can do whatever you want to do without your parent's permission. Of course, if you need financing and mom and dad hold the purse stings, that's another thing. But if you are 18, have your own finances or are making money or have enough saved up, then consider simply saying good bye to mom and dad and move out. They cannot legally stop you. But also, they are no longer required to pay support on your behalf...so you will need medical insurance, food, clothing, a roof over your head and some sort of income.

How old are you and where are you leaving the nest to go to? As parents it is difficult to let go of the reins - to hand yo the rudder and let you steer your own course - if we could we would protect you forever! My son left at 18 to go to uni - my daughter has moved out at 18 to live with her boyfriend. If I had my way they would both still be home where I could know they are safe but I recognise that they have their own lives so I have to control my feelings and let them go! If your parents are having trouble and you feel you are being held back you need to show them how mature and ready you are by talking to them - nothing stops a parent in their tracks more than a show of maturity! Talk to them!

If you are of age and have the means to support yourself then where you live is your business. If they threaten to cut you out of a will or to disown you then tell them to keep their money and to enjoy themselves in your absence.

Get a job, get a place to live and do what you want if you are an adult. They will accept it, it is hard at first for us parents, it takes a little time to get used to, they will probably be at your house every day for first couple months. Your parents know you have to grow up and move out they may just be scared. -
I would just talk to them. I am 23 and I got married at 18 and my parent actually want my husband and I to move in with them. And I was like no. Like now I want to move to go to Grad School out of state, but my parents wont let us.They have even threaten to move with us. Or send my little sisters to live with us. But I talk to my parents and told them I grown and my husband take good care of me and great protector. They lighten up although they still want me to take some of my little sisters with me. But just talk to them and I am sure they will understand.

Depends on your age.

Why would they think you are not ready? Didn't they go a good enough job raising you? If you are of age, and of sound mind and body, there is no real reason for you to stick around. You could always join the military if you are so inclined.
-
If you are 18 or over, you are legally an adult and can make your own decisions.

well work your ass of save your money and find some loyal room mates and despite what you fear you have to do it and break away from their norm to become independent and figure out what makes you happy

Are you over 18 and capable of sustaining yourself in a reasonable fashion while you pursue a meaningful job/education?
