seriously though, everyone moves out at some point, for you though you sound like you want more emotional distance in addition to physical distance. So I’d just explain to them why you’re cutting off contact, and leave it at that. Don’t pick up when they call, etc. I think the path you have to take is very clear.

Just remember our parents are people with strength and weaknesses just like everyone else.
Some folks are lucky in respect to getting blessed with healthy parents who guide them into becoming healthy, individuated, confident and successful, people.
Some aren’t and the coping methods they learn from their parents is unhealthy and harms them for life.
If you recognize yours are toxic and want to separate that is a good thing on your part. Go on and make your own way and if possible maintain a good relationship with them as people can always change or the relationship can get better if it’s an adult to adult one rather then a dependent one.
Take care,

I disagree with the main ideas being expressed here, although not vehemently.
Some relationships between child and parent can be poisonous to the point that ending that relationship completely is the healthiest and most viable option available to child.
Not saying that is necessarily the case here, of course, and should be a rare (and unfortunate) occurrence, but sometimes it IS the correct choice.

Agreed, if they were pedos or horribly abusive in some awful way you are right and that’s a whole other issue.
However, if they were otherwise good people, but maybe didn’t have the best parenting skills that’s when it’s possible for a different and more positive relationship once you grow up.
I do see your point.

Sorry, just re-read your first post. Atlanta is a great city - just long commutes to everywhere. Fortunatly the IT school is close to Marietta. Sounds like a great opportunity. It has been said before - but burn no bridges. You are only 22 and you WILL need the support of your family down the road.
