I think my mom is toxic to my mental health. Want help to figure out whether it is a good idea to move out or not.

Hey OP,

I’m sorry to hear what you’re going through.

Moving out seems like a very attractive option and many have suggested that.

But here’s “a but”

Seems like you’re close to your parents and they seem close to you as well despite the differences. Chances are even if you move out you’ll get frequent visits from them. Also it seems that your mom and dad might not be that close anymore so that added they might choose you as an intermediary for some time off from each other.

If you are ready to talk about moving out, with your parents. Also that could be a good point to start the conversation about how you feel about them.

I know they are adults, but it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be able to have an open conversation with them.

This of course depends on if you are “moving out” inside Sri Lanka or abroad.

Anyway i wish you the best
