Anyone else trying to move out their parents house?

I am 31 and trying to move from my parents house. My parents are really strict and protective. They can best be explained as tiger and helicopter parents. They try to dictate every aspect of my life. They want me to live a good life but the way they want me to live. They are very religious and and traditional. It's gotten to the point that I can not take it anymore. I spent and wasted my 20's living for them, that it's time for me to live for myself. They think I am weak and helpless and need them for everything. They fail to see I am strong enough to live on my own. They try to make you feel guilty and try to justify their actions. They fail to understand how toxic they are. They underestimate what I am capable of. I feel they rely on me too much. I help them out with rent and other things when it come to technology. I have 3 older siblings that don't help much. I am sick and tired and ready to move out the city. I don't have much money or savings. But trying to spend the next 2 months saving up to move. I have found a few affordable cities to move to. I love NYC and have love for this city. However it is too expensive and not worth living here anymore. NYC is one of the most overrated cities in the world. It's a sh*t hole full of a** h*les.

This is why I haven’t moved out yet. My dad is super strict and Abusive. I’ve been out of doing sex work for all this Month due to my mental health being that bad this month so I don’t have a lot of money and all the places are closed so I can’t do much and it Sucks. I’m 21 tomorrow and he’s still going to have a stupid hold on me. He threatens me if I leave he will call the police and bring me back. I don’t have a partner so I can’t move in with them and my friends still live with their parents and don’t want to know. As a sex worker it’s even harder for me to rent a place. I hope you do get out of there as soon as possible.

I am out for years.
NJ is better move there, so many travel down to NY for work daily.
@skip2mylou I live in Nj. Even the apartments in low income areas are expensive imo

@skip2mylou It's hard even I am on a hunt.. All the best to both of us.

@MorbidCynic Yeah that is what I noticed, my two main choices are Ohio and Connecticut. I've found some really nice and affordable places there.
Yes. I finally came to terms with the fact that I will never be happy unless I completely separate myself from everyone in my family. So that’s the goal. To leave and never look back.

@MorbidCynic I 100% agree, I love my parents and appreciate everything they have done for me. But it is time for me to live my own life.

@geoam1 Thank you, I feel I will never get my parents approval. Just have to grab my things and move.
God speed and fair winds

If you have the money saved to move then do it, they'll never treat you differently otherwise.
