Fashionable Exits
OP - April 20, 2014, 03:21 PM

This question has been roaming around my head for the past three years, when I first began questioning my faith and the possibility of leaving my parents. How do I tell them?
I know in my deepest heart that I can never, ever, have the guts to say everything to them face to face because I don't want to face the emotional, and more importantly physical aspect of it. I'm quite a bit afraid for my safety of how they react, and I'm most definitely putting it off till I gain majority, but it's never too early to start setting up a plan.

So my question is to those of you who left their families, or those planning on to is how did you or will you do it? Did you have good financial support? Housing? University? Etc....
I am planning on leaving at 18-22 but i obviously have a lot to mange before the deed could be done. I'm also more than positive my entire family will disown me...

Just like Johnny Flynn said, the breath I've taken and the one I must to go on.

I haven't been in this position, but, as someone who in my undergraduate years of college needed to fall back on my parents' charity more than once and would've been in quite a bit of trouble had I not had that safety net, I will generally always advocate that you get to a place where you're totally able to support yourself.

If you plan on going to school, I'd do that and graduate and become employed beforehand. If you can just get past that part of your life, it should be so much easier to proceed without your family.

But above all, stay safe!
