Update:

I make around 500+ a week working as a nursing assistant Ina nursing home.

Update 2:

Yes I have money to move out and a place to live and yes I can afford to live on my own with my job. I just don't know how to start of telling him.this is just frustrating bcuz parents usually think they r just completly right even when they r not.n yes I understand parents always want wht they think is rite for their kids but iv proven to b responsible but they jus don't care it's their way or no way basically.

    Their just being overprotective because they care about you.

    It's so much cheaper at home, and there are a lot worse places, once your out, your on your own.

    Try to get a room/housemate-it makes things easier and you have someone there.

    Make sure you have a plan-everything worked out.e.g. rent, work, transport, laundry.etc.

    Promise to call them every night-their going to be majorly stressed and worried.

    Depending on how your parents react. e.g. if they blow things out of proportion, or talk you out of things.

    It's better to pack your stuff, take them aside, tell them your plan, state you are leaving.

    If you know they will be angry. I told them I was staying at my friends house because of a school project-a week turned into a month. Then one day I simply called and said I wasn't comming home-they were pissed but I contiued to see them and they accepted I'd been doing fine on my own. I'm back at home now-due to bf probs. It's so much easier and they give me space now.

    Make sure you pop in and see your parents now and then.

    If your intending to move out, you'll need to make at least $200+ a wk

    Good luck!!

    Tell them it's been great but it's time for you to move out. If they are really controlling and you feel a bit whipped when talking to them, see if you can get some good adult advice or counseling on how to deal with controlling parents. If they say "NO" to much of what you want and then you just slink off meekly with your "tail" between your legs...you have problems. Wow I'm excited for you and sort of jealous! I lived at home until I was 25 and it was only until they set up everything for me then did I move out and they continued to control me even then. Good Luck!!!

    first of all, are you on your own? are you able to provide for yourself?

    if not, forget moving out because if you were my child you would get no help from me

    if you have found a place to move and can afford what will be required, move things out some at a time until all your stuff is gone and then let them know you have found a place to live

    Well, if you have the money and can afford to be out on your own, go for it. You are 19. LOl, my daughteris 18 and she says she is never moving out, everything is too expensive.

    Just do it, but remember, when we first start out we always need help from mama and daddy at some.
