for the past 4 years i have contemplated disappearing from my family and moving to live alone, basically starting my life all over with totally new people. i am 3/4 black and 1/4 white. my mother 1/2 and 1/2 has been raising me along with my stepdad who is full black. even though my mom is 100% supportive i get extremely irritated with her. basically everyone that i'm around regularly. i don't like being around these people at all.

    Is your stepfather arrogant? Do you resent your mother for marrying him when you feel she can do much better? Those are very common emotions. When you're ready to move out, it is your right to cut your stepdad completely out of your life. You could cut out your mom out of your life, but you might regret it in the long run if she seems supportive and sensitive. You may change your mind...or maybe it's best for you to start over.

    You'll be happy if you lived on your own. As Sartre once said "Hell is other people."

    Yep. If you're over 18 and have some money and a plan, I say go, and enjoy the fresh start. Just be careful out there! :)

    I think it's normal. If you're underage I think you should wait, but if not, go ahead.

    I think it's normal. I am planning on doing the same thing. I've started to HATE my family and everyone I talk too. I can't stand to look or be around them anymore. If you still feel the same way when you can leave, then I say do it. But purple sloth is right, take a break from them and then see how it feels.

    Well it would help, but it also depends on how old you are. If you are 17 and under I suggest that you do not do this. There are many reasons on why. Mentally and also physically it can hurt you in the long run. Although it is normal to feel this way just ask some friends for help. Ask to stay the night for a few nights. See if that helps.
