Today, at age eighteen, I finished moving out of my parents' house and into my own. The only person to even remotely give a shit was my sister, and that was only because I was taking the cat with me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I'm moving out of the house. My little sister can't wait and I've never seen my dad so happy. FML
Today, I decided it was time to start looking for my own place and finally gain my full independence. My mom agreed happily without hesitation, which was surprising, but not anywhere near as surprising as finding out I have one day to get my shit together and leave. FML
Today, my mom got a cat. I'm allergic to cats, so I politely asked my mom why she got it. Her response: "I want you to finally want to move out." I turned eighteen two weeks ago. FML
Today, I moved in with my boyfriend. Up until now, I thought my cat was the only four year-old I had to deal with. FML
Today, I found out that the day I moved out of my parents' house, they invited my whole family over and had a party to celebrate the fact that I was gone. FML
Today, at 30 years-old, I can finally move out. I could have chosen an apartment close to work, but instead I decided to stay close to where my mother lives. Since I told her, she's been complaining that I'm selfish and I'm creating a lot of problems for her by moving so far away. I'll be living half a block from her. FML
Today, I moved back with my mom, sister and niece after 10 years on my own. My niece is 11, we talked about life and she agrees my mom and my sister are toxic and that I should move out. She'll do it as soon as she's 18. I'm 29. FML
Today, after telling my parents just exactly what I thought of them and that I was moving out, the person I was supposed to move in with called to say they'd decided they would rather live alone. FML
Today, it hit me that my dad didn't cry when I moved out, he did so only when I came back later to pick up my cat. FML
Today, after months of telling my parents I was going to live on my own, I finally moved out. Not even 24 hours being out of their house, some reject burned down the apartment complex I live in. Guess who's moving back home. FML

I'm probably going to get thumbed down for this but you seem to expect them to wail and scream hysterically as you're leaving. Grow up and act the adult that you are. It's a new chapter in your life so live it to the fullest.

Am I the only one who thinks the op was probably a horrible child and sibling? Sorry if I'm wrong and if I am his family sucks but I have to imagine if he was a good kid who cared about is family, they would care that the op is leaving.

I'd say it was supposed to be Chris because OP is male. But Peter pays attention to him.

Hey, from the sounds of it, the grass is greener on the other side, so **** that old dirty lawn and start your own beautiful garden

I know how that feels, OP, but...I moved out shortly after I turned 17 because my mom is a drug addict and my dad lives in another state with my twin brother. I am starting my second year of college and I pay for everything I own and operate. I was living alone until recently. So...it could be worse.

Aw, don't feel bad, your parents really do have strong feelings about you moving out. They just have the decency to not gloat about how thrilled they are to get rid of you!
