How do I tell my mom I want to move out?

I am 17 and my at home life is brutal. My mom always wants to fight and all I want to do is have a safe place to live. I can’t keep going to my bestfriends’ house because I am a lesbian and my mom thinks we are dating. I have no family here in Milwaukee, just my mother. I don’t want to make this problem a big deal and loose the respect of my sibilings. What can I do?

Answer #1

How exactly will moving out… make your siblings lose respect?

Answer #2

just tell her how you are ready and tell her your plans. explain it clearly and calmly. just b confident and give her time. she may say no but don’t worry about it. she might just need some time to realize your sudden outburst but just realize that you are special to her and that she will need time to think about everything.
