    Take control of your own life. Remind them you are 19 and can do as you please if you wish to move out. Under their roof it is pretty much their rules, but if you get out them you can enjoy life.

    Just tell them what you want and say that you hope they will support you in your choice. But also tell them that if they don't then it will not change your mind. Good luck xx

    Talk to them, maybe they will see your view.

    Hi Nikkkiweeki!! You should just stick through it even though it is difficult. Moving out will be a major choice and responsibility and that would just be because of how you are currently feeling. If those were your two choices, you should just talk to your dad. Your parents are the ones that have raised you and no one else knows how you are, except God. "So don't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will have its own worries. Each day has enough trouble of its own." -Matthew 6:34 . You should pray to God and tell Him your problems, even though He knows what you are going through. A divided place cannot prosper. "and a family that is divided cannot continue." -Mark 3:25 . There is an importance with the harmony in a home. You are important to your family and they have their reasons for keeping you. About you thinking twice... maybe it is an impact for your brother. So, just hold on. God Bless You!!

    I would say if you want to get everything out in the open about how you feel my advice is to write a letter and explain that u appreciate them but also that u need support see if that works sometimes even if u just get it out on paper you will feel a whole lot better knowing that they know without just saying no and being done with it . Hope it helps

    You are 19 yrs old...you don't need permission to move out. I think it would be the best thing for you to do...you will learn to stand on your own 2 feet and become an independent person.

    I was married at 19 ...I'm not saying you should be married at 19 but you are old enough to move out.
