How do i tell my dad im moving out?

You're 18 Now- so it's TIME to level with Him. You're Old enough to make Your OWN Decisions... -But JUST Remember; that DOESN'T Mean He has to Like Them !! So DO as You Will, & DON'T turn Back !! :)

The thing is, this really is a tough time of life because you turn 18, and legally you're an adult, but in actual fact, until you're out of the house and supporting yourself and have all the accompanying responsibilities, you're not really an adult, and you can't make all your own choices if you are dependent on someone else for support. Just as your dad has been responsible for you and can't do whatever he would like. So age alone does not make the adult.

There isn't enough information in your question to tell us whether your dad's objection of your boyfriend or your going to see him has any merit, and of course, you have a different opinion on it since he's your boyfriend.

Who is paying for the trip, or did you collect the money for it while he supported you? We don't know. But due to the support factors I'm assuming, I think you at least owe your dad a discussion about what you are doing and why, and you have to sit through his anger and his opinion about it. He's your dad, and although dads are sometimes overly protective, the bottom line is he loves you and wants the best for you, however misguided you feel he is, so try to listen through the anger to what he's saying too.

I can't promise it will be easy, but until you're truly an adult on your own, it's something you'll have to live with. It's a tough time for both parent and child.

Sorry if you don't like the answer. I'm just trying to be honest and fair with you and speaking to you as an adult. I'm sure you'll get plenty of others from people your age who will tell you you're 18 and don't have to listen to anybody. But that isn't real life. We all do at every age, to a parent, a boyfriend or husband, your children; there's always somebody we have responsibility to or for.

Good luck.

Hi Taylor thanks for answering me.

Normally dads will know boys better than you.,Becuase he himslef is a male and use to soicalise with them.

He obviously loves you. Becuase another dad would be happy to see that his daughter is going out of the house and he can have the house for himself, and finally get a mistress and whatever.

First, to get this out of the way...assuming you're living with dad and he's supporting you I do not advise telling him "I'm an adult and I make my own decisions". You don't get to play the "adult" card unless you're actually being an adult - which means, in part, that you're supporting yourself instead of depending on others to support you.

BUT I'm confused about what's going on. In the title you say you're moving in boyfriend (and no dad would be happy about their *just turned* 18-year-old daughter moving in some guy), but in the post itself you say you want to visit him. So which is accurate?
