I always empathize with young people who are desperate to move out of their family homes as soon as possible.
One teenager is desperate to move out of her family home after being treated poorly but has been met with disdain for wanting to do so.
She’s 18 and lives with her mom, 25-year-old sister, and grandma. She feels her home has been a bad environment for the last three years.
“My sister will mentally and emotionally hurt me, my mom will manipulate me to get anything she wants, [and] my grandma acts like I’m her nanny,” she said.
“You can see why I hate it here.”
A lot of mistreatment from her family over the years has been making her want out for a while, but the last straw happened recently when her sister revealed she was pregnant and told her she expects her to take care of her nephew as soon as he’s born.
A friend recently offered her to stay at their home, which would be great, but she has a few reservations.
For starters, when she told her mom she was offered to live somewhere else, her mom flipped out. She threatened to take her off her health insurance plan, cut her off financially, and end communication with her.
When her sister caught wind of what was going on, she said she’d never be able to be a part of her nephew’s life.
Additionally, she has a pet dog, who she wouldn’t be able to bring into this new home. She fears that if she leaves her dog with her family, they’ll get rid of her the moment she’s gone.
The only person who supports her wanting to move is her grandmother, who is well aware of the torture she’ll have to endure once her nephew is born.
Despite all of this, she’s fully convinced she needs to move and will do it in secret if she has to. But after the way her family reacted, she’s wondering if it would make her a bad person.
Should she try to make peace with her family and continue to live at home or get out while she can?
