Do you fear to leave your family?

It is well known that home is a wind-proofing haven. When I was a child, I deeply rely on my family, I like sharing with them many feeling. At that time, if someone told me I will leave my family and fly by myself one day, I could not believe his words and in the eyes of mine, leaving means bad thing, I dislike it very much. After I grow up, I have to go out and make a living by myself. Now I do not afraid of leaving any more. I hope I can become a pillar for them to rely on in the future.

I believe our true family will always be there for us and so your parents will be there for you after you decide to leave home. In case of trouble, I'm sure they will be there for you to lean on in hard times. I've been out of the house for two years come this May, and it has been the best time of my life! I still love getting together with my parents and family because I live close to them, but I would never live with them again because of how much I enjoy living on my own with just me, my hubby, and my dog. (LOL) I'm sure that when you leave home, you will miss your family, especially if you're going to live far away, but on the other hand, you will have a lot of fun being on your own and making your own decisions for everything. You will also like making your own money and paying your own bills because you will feel good about your accomplishments. I know it's scary to think about leaving when you're in the shelter of your parents' home, but it's only because you haven't experienced anything else. For me, it was scary and a completely new experience, but I embraced it and was so happy for a new opportunity. I'm also glad I moved out of my parents' house before I got married because then I could experience living on my own and making my own living on my income. When we got married, my husband and I made the same income so it's like we doubled the money we made. Once I got married, it seemed like everything got even easier because now there's two people to help out around the house and pay the bills. So you see, it only gets better! You always have your parents to go back to, though, and I'm sure they'd be happy to have you, even if it were just for a visit!

i think it is the same for everybody... when i was still a little kid, of course i am afraid to leave home and my family... how can i survive and fend for myself at such a young age??? but now that i am already married, of course i have to leave my family and support myself... i am not scared anymore to leave my family... but that doesn't mean that i abandoned them... take care and have a nice day...

When my family and I all lived under the roof, we never really talked or saw much of eachother because we were always out doing our own things, but ever since myself and my brother have moved out...my family has become the closest we've ever been. We talk every single day whether its through the phone, FaceBook or e-mail, but now we talk every single day, while before, it was once a week if that.

When I was younger and you ask me this exact the same question, I would say, yes. But Things are different now, I'm all grown up, I already learned a lot of things. I can make my own decisions without my family's guidance. I am a better person and my family is the main reason why I am who I am right now and I am very grateful to them. I can say that I do not fear to leave them because i know that they will be okay without me, and even If I am not with them, I can still help them in my own special way.

the first time, i might be scare. leaving them mean i could not have someone that i can rely on. But leaving in a positive way. one day i hope i can be someone that they can depend on, yeah... like a pillar for my family. Even until now, when i come back to my family and then i must go again for my studying, i am still very sad that i have to leave them again. i love them so much.

YEs, its very common friend. During childhood our home is our world, we don't see anything beyond our home. As a result when some body talks that we will leave our home, we get disturbed. But as we grow up we understand what binds family members togather, we loose that fear. We try to earn for family nd we support our family, economically, as well as stay connected emotionally.
