I think is your chioce.. but.. if you relly love your parents.. stay with them... I think you growed up in that place and you can handle it till you'll have a husband to go and stay with him.. Is hard to stay alone .. and if you don't resist anymore.. go.. and make you life as you wish! With respect, Bogdanel

If staying is making you unhappy, then leave. Your own happiness is the most important thing here and if as you say, your salary is barely enough to pay the rent and food, you will at least be independant.

I would also suggest you move out and find a roomate to help with the bills. Your profile says your 24 and most kids leave home before that. I left home at 18 and it was tough at first but it felt so good to be on my own and away from a tough situation. But if you decide to stay, i agree with the other poster, you need to talk to your mom and tell her how you feel. Good luck to you.

I don't suggest you to leave your parents especially your mother. After I have gave birth to my 1 year old daugter, then only I understand how great a mother is. I suggest you to find out the problem for the bad relationship and try to solve it, may be you can have a talk with them.

Leave!!! It may be rough at first but you will make it if you have the desire to do so! Just keep your faith and you will be fine!

There is a proverb "be a Roman when you are in Rome". Hence correct yourself drinking with your father out of his money and live in the same place

strugle is a part of everybody's life and you should stay and work until you earn enough to be independent by yourself.

talk to your parents first, their your daughter so you and you are affected by what they have been doing so you have the right to open this matter to them. if they don't listen to you and they continue with what they have been doing regardless of what you feel, then maybe you should leave. if you have relatives in other areas then go to them to save money even for a while...

These are the very parents who brought you into this world. Just because you have started earning now you are thinking of leaving them and that also you are rethinking not because you love them but coz you cannot afford to live alone. Isn't that selfishness? Can't you speak to your parents and sort it out or take them for counselling?

I agree that she should talk to her parents and see if they would be willing to go for counseling to improve her relationship with them. I would still concentrate on saving up money to get your own place since we all need to move out of our parents place at some point whether we get along with them or not.

I think you should stay with your boyfriend or husband if you have one.Otherwise try to find a nice job.It is sometimes very hard to ignore things which are constantly bothering you.

We had the same situation before. But if you love your parents you can stay and just let pass what you hear on the other ear. I am always thinking before to leave them because I had work enough to support me but I choose to stay because I do not want them to be all alone by themselves.

have you tried talking to them what seems to be the problem? Perhaps there's a reason why your mom yells at you. Maybe she has her own share of personal difficulties. Same as with ur father. Try to talk to them and open up. Pray hard. It will give you strength. God bless

whether you go or you stay they're still your parents. if living them give you peace then do it. just do what evr you think makes you happy.
