Terrified of Moving Out: Need Advice

💕

Are there any CODA or ACOA groups in your area. Was big help to me in that season of life. Just because it helped me doesn't guarantee it will help you, but it is a resource to try. This day and age if there are not physical groups in your area there may be on-line ones.

Hi, sorry you have to deal with this. That sounds really hard, but I do think that you should do what is truly best for you. My mental health was super bad living at home and I couldn’t wait to leave. Moving out for me made things so much better and made me so much happier. If you think it will do that for you, then you should, you deserve it! You could always try to refer him to help, but make sure to take care of yourself!

I'm really sorry you have to go through this. I had a hard time at 18-20 with becoming independent from my family too. This is REALLY hard advice to give/hear but you can't live someone else's life for them so you can't "save" your father. In the end, you have to look out for yourself and live your own life. I hope you can figure something out
