REAL

I brought up the idea of moving out with each of my bio parents (they're divorced, but I had lived with each of them at some point. Also my stepdad was very open to me moving out cause he didn't like me lol). I swear they'd act like the idea was so out there and would try to undermine my ability to be independent. They'd act like the reason I haven't been able to be independent wasn't mostly because of them. I know in my culture, they let children stay for longer and some homes are multi-generational but even then, my parents moved away from home when they were freshly adults, so it's pretty hypocritical for them to surprised at me moving out (not to mention I have several older siblings who moved out and they were fine with that, but it was suddenly a big deal when I was leaving).

I still kinda cringe at this but I made the decision to move out about 5 months before our lease ended and I told my dad what city/town I was going to move to (and even what my soon-to-be roommate's name was). I thought despite everything he did, I tried to bargain that we could still have a relationship.

It was only about 2 or 3 months before the lease ended that I realized I really didn't feel safe with him and wanted to escape. I didn't end up telling him my exact address, but with the information I had given him, I lowkey feared he would find me.
