I'am an only child and my parents passed away, so I practically grew up with my grandparents. In a typical Filipino household this is very common, you lived with your parents or grandparents on the same roof. I'am the one who looks after my grandparents. I got married 2 years ago and currently living with them. My husband and I wanted to move out, but there's a couple of things that have been holding me back from moving out, 1) guilt that i'll be leaving two elderly people to take care of themselves. So here comes the crossroads moving out or staying..The staying here path looks bleak. The moving path it's filled with stress and money worries, but it means permanently getting out of this house, having some space, independence. A chance of a new start for us...

Go following your heart,leaving doesn't mean abandoning,you can always go back to your grandparents to see them,in fact,i guess they may also have the will to have them own space,they are eager to have just two of them to enjoy their old years life,so just do what you want to do,love between you and your grandparents won't disappear with the leaving of you!
