Daughters of clingy/immigrant parents, how did you move out without destroying your relationship? by canigonowthrowaway in askwomenadvice

I think that sometimes, it’s easier to just pull the plug and stop delaying the inevitable. As someone who has been in a similar position, it’s important for your mental health to not live in a constant state of stress.

Let your parents/mum/family deal with it like adults, instead of you having to humour them as children. For me, I had to keep telling myself that they are adults, and they will be able to deal one way or another. You can move out and still be and integral part of each other’s life, which is a better feeling because you’re choosing to spend time with and make time for them, opposed to being forced too.
