Do they have your savings first. But if you really want to move out with as little hints as possible. Get giant containers, or a storage for a few months if you can afford it. And start buying whatever you need now. Furniture can possibly come last (which is what the storage will be for. Or you can just buy your essentials, have them a closet and just wait until you move to get your furniture shipped. Do it on a day you’re free and no one is home so you can pack in peace without feeling guilty

Moving out of a toxic home can feel overwhelming especially being on your own for the first time can be stressful knowing what to do and how to move about it paying for things and keeping contact at minimum. But once you’re used to it it feels so freeing to have a little quiet place to yourself. As much as I love my family cuz well, they’re my family. We don’t always get along and the space gets lonely bc it’s so quiet with just me. But at least there’s less fighting

Yeah no it’s the same thing for me where it’s less stressful when I’m not there. I go to college and live hours away and only go home for breaks or summer bc I can’t live at campus but ty

When I left to live in my dorm I didn’t realize how peaceful being away from home would be. Maybe bc I’m used to a loud home with a lot of ppl in it so when it’s just me it feels hella empty and quiet. But I loved walking around in whatever I wanted, just sitting alone with my own thoughts without another voice down the hall. I think that’s when I realized having your own space isn’t bad it’s the parents making you feel guilty about moving away that feels bad

If you’re moving states I’d wait until you fully did your research on where you want to live. And yeah just try to pack as much as you can to be shipped to your apartment. Or once you fully have the space. Get the nearest store to deliver it to you at your front door or order things from Amazon. You can start small and work your way up if you have no furniture. Nothing wrong with a futon for a few weeks

Literally trying to figure out now what I want and weed out anything. Kinda nervous tho to start slowly putting it away in boxes or storage containers only bc I don’t want to get caught and I’ve hear horror stories on storage containers and they supposedly cost a lot 🫩

Secretly ask them for money from your savings every few weeks to not look suspicious. Maybe your kitchen items are $100. You can ask for $100 for something you’re doing in class to not look suspicious. Or if you actually live in a suite or have a kitchen you can say your roommate ran out of silverware and want some of your own. Slowly find reasons for them to give it to you. Or just go to the bank and ask for that info. You’re an adult they can’t control your money anymore
