When my brother moved out when he was 19 he took me with him when I was 15. I stayed with him and went to school for 2 years til i graduated and joined the navy.

When I moved out last year I didn't have to stand up to him anymore, my pops started respecting my boundaries.

I left home when I was 20. They had always told me “As long as you live in our house you must follow our rules.” I accepted this and when I tired of those rules, I left. My relationship with them improved when they saw that I was responsible and self-sufficient.

If all they have to complain about is the style of your hair......what do they imagine it represents ?
If they have no complaints over how you conduct yourself.
If they have no complaint about your lifestyle choices.
If they have no complaint over things you’re involved with......you have to wonder why the fuss

Complaining about how your hair literally grows is ridiculously controlling. This has nothing to do with being safe at all. In fact anyone that controlling I'd feel unsafe around.

I'm in the same boat as you. My mum detested my going for a walk in a park because it's "too dangerous out there" and she told me to "not go too deep in there" and to "stay near the main entrance" and to "sit in one place with my head down".

long after I left home
and it was very difficult

Do it (hairstyle)😍😍 and yes time to move out😊

I have a very abusive family. When it came to the physical abuse, I started swinging back at 15. Only now at 24 I realized that have been gaslighting me and finally put my foot down.

It is time to make your own life
but you'll miss the comfort of home
