I 21F, what do I do when my parents are guilt tripping me to stay home. When I want to move out.

I’m 20 and my parents used to do the same thing. My dad would constantly make jokes about me staying home to “take care of him” (mind you both my parents are in their early 40’s). It would especially piss me off cause they don’t give that same energy to my older brother. I say if you have the money and the resources to do it, do it! I was lucky enough to move out into university housing and it has genuinely improved my mental health so much

Im 23F and my parents are doing this (i graduated and moved back in last may). Definitely trying to move out still, been working my ass off to save up for it. Just stay focused on your goal and look for any opportunity to be able to support yourself and leave
