What do ya do when...
by missy04 inyou're 18, (considered an adult), want to move out of your parents house to get away from your dysfunctional mom, and can't because you feel guilty leaving your mom and dad because your parents have alot of health problems?.
i absolutely cannot function in this environment.

The straw that finally broke my back was when we went shopping for clothes, she said "You can pick out however many outfits you want, if you'll promise that you'll pioneer for the next year"
No, thank you. I went off immediately, telling her I didn't want anything from her if she wanted to bribe me with "materialistic things" to serve God. That ended the shopping trip.
10 years later, I can still remember the guilt trips and shaming. They continue to this day, just on a far muted plane. My mother has seen my moral values in action on more than one occasion, and she lets them be.
Wow,..she really REALLLLY wanted you to pioneer, huh.
I've heard alot about parents bribing their kids to pioneer and stuff. sad.
Good for you standing up to her.

My wife was in a situation very similar to yours. Her parents were older, her father was an elder and they were hard core JWs. They put every sort of guilt trip possible on her and kept her at home until she was 27. Now that Nina has distance (and 21 years of marriage) she looks back on the decision to stay there as one of the biggest mistakes she made.
Geez,...I can't even imagine how it would be if my parents were JW's. It must have been really hard on her. I'm sorry she had to go through that.

Missy, for a very long time I gave and gave and gave because I thought that is what one was supposed to do. I *never* put myself first... and guess what... people milked me for all I was worth and then tossed me to the side when I was spent.
Elsewhere,
I am sorry that you were treated this way...people can really take advantage of giving, caring people.
Glad it all turned out good for you though!

all the above said... (which i agree with) remember theres NO Hurry so dont be rash. make sure you have your ducks in a row before you move out. because it is a big ugly world out there so be prepared. i struck out on my own at 37 /38 yrs old and ended up living in a van for a time. .so remember its not easy, its not impossible.. but its not easy. make sure your up for the challenge and go for it if its what you want.
I agree with ya. I know I don't want to make a decision that won't end up working out well...the temptation is to just leave but I know that wouldn't be a good choice until I have everything all planned out.

Oh, and one of my rules for where to live: Always live at least 30 miles from your parents. This way they are close enough for visits, but not close enough for them to "drop by" every day.
Good rule of thumb!! I was actually starting to consider 1,600 miles away in Arizona! lol
