Do you think moving out would help getting away from family drama?

It’ll avoid it, yes. But remember, they are your family, you can’t escape them forever. But hey, spending a few nights away would let things cool down.

In short, not entirely. No matter what you do, your family will always be your family. Unless you stop talking to them completely (which should NOT be the goal), you’ll most likely always hear about something. Moving out may make it so that you’re not around to hear it all when it goes down, but again, this is no guarantee that you won’t hear about it at all.

Instead of cutting them off, have you tried talking to them about it? If you haven’t, I think you should let them know that you don’t really want a part in any of it.

I think it would. If your family is making you miserable, limit your association with them. You only have one life, don’t let it be ruined by others.

yes move far away change your name and drop all contact with them

Nah…. No matter how far away you arre from your family they’ll still afect you greatly!

I wonder if many of the people on here have actually moved very far away. I live many miles away from my parents, which has completely improved our relationship and I pretend the rest of my family doesnt exist. I very rarely have to deal with family drama. I will warn you though, it may get you away from the majority of the crap, but you cant run away forever. There are things you eventually have to learn how to deal with.

my girl friend seems to think so. Thats why im not soo sure I should move into a place with her because I dont think she is moving for the right reason.
