I somewhat understand your problem I was raised by my grandparents and still live upstairs at 22 to help them. I know other people who never had this sort of issue who don't understand that you feel obligated to try and help any way possible. My reason is my grandparents are in their 70's and we live in the country things are harder physically out here with just about everything. I have some troubles that present themselves by living with them still and its not like i can't leave I just wouldn't leave my grandparents without the physical help of shoveling snow for example. My grandfather has some health problems too and it would kill me to not be here if he needs me for anything. Also, I understand how it hurts other relationships and can be very hard. You want freedom but still are obligated by your beliefs and heart to stay, help, and honor your mothers wishes. I don't have a solution for this because I feel almost the same way and still stay to help no matter what but your not alone with your problem. You will find someone who gets it and hopefully can help you come to some middle ground where your still honoring your family beliefs but are also happy in the life you live. Good luck.
Is it normal that I'm not allowed to move out at 25 years old?
