Moving Out

The relationship I have with my family is not the best and hasn’t been for a while but ive always accepted it until now. They call me names and have made me feel down about myself for long enough! I love them as they are my family and have been there for me through a lot in the past but I have had enough. I’ve decided to go and live with my boyfriend and I’m petrified. Not of moving away but of losing my family forever, however they make me feel etc I still love them and don’t want them to be out of my life or angry with me forever. Hence why this decision feels so hard but is right.

Does anyone else have experiences of this? I’d love some moral support! It’s going to be so hard

You are needing respect as you get older. I do not know how old you are however it may be your Parents are just calling you as a form of joke that has in your eyes is not acceptable now. If not already try talking to your Parents explaining how you feel and see what is said about it.

Family can hurt their children as they have not begun to understand you are growing up.

I always feel it is always if possible to keep in with family, a certain amount or ragging may in some eyes may be normal. However if it goes on over years this can be seen as self respect.

I would be concerned if they Scapegoated you, or Narcissist to to especially if they were pulling you down in front of friends, school or employer.

However if you are old enough you lead your own life, you need to expect and accept your own errors in life, part of live is living with your own expectations.

Hopefully I really hope your family will treat you with respect for who you are, not who they want you too be.

However, never never accept being a Scapegoat, we are all worth more than that, you will need to understand know your own person and respect yourself what ever the situation is in your family home and people who should know better
