Dealing with Toxic Parents: Need Advice

Hi, My name is currently in the works, as i’m trying to find myself. My life has shifted quite a bit within the time I have been an adult. I’m turning 19 at the end of april and so many things have clogged my mind. I live with my parents still and they are very toxic. I love them, but my mental state drains when around them. And I feel like I have no control over my own life. I can’t do what I want or wear what I want, because of how it’ll “affect” them. I tried moving out but I got so homesick that it made me nauseous every time I thought about them. So, I moved back. Any advice is appreciated.

My mom is very toxic and I grew up having anxiety and depression. I’m now 36, she still lives with me but now she’s toxic to my kids. Moral of the story end the cycle with you!

Maybe you could move somewhere closer to your parents that way it’s like a five minute drive if you do end up getting homesick but you also have the freedom of having your own place to recharge and do your own thing!
