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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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
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, my niece told me to go and find my own friends. She's 2, and I'm 18. FML
Today, my mother sat me down and told me, "I'm not going to lie, I hate living with you. Please get a job and move out." I'm 16. FML
Today, my mother told me she thinks it is time for me to move into my own place. I agreed with her and went to look at studios/flats online. She later came into my room, saw me looking at places and then got pissed off at me, saying that I hate her for wanting to leave her. FML
Today, my mom gave me thirty days notice to find an apartment and move out. Why? She's dating my former best friend and wants to move him in, but he won't do it until I'm gone because it would be "awkward." FML
Today, I finally got all of my finances to move out of my house. My mother, instead of being happy for me for moving out of her house, blames me because she needs my rent money, states I will not be happy out in the world and disowned me because I didn't move out when she wanted me to. She wanted me to stay until she was 55. FML
Today, I moved back to my home town. My best friend and I had arranged to rent a house together that we both liked. I finished my last day at work and made the three-hour drive, only for her to break down and tell me that she isn't "ready" to move out of her parents' basement. She's 25. FML
Today, me, my sister, and my boyfriend all live together. It’s time to renew the lease. They used this as an opportunity to let me know that they’ve fallen in love and I will not be on the new lease. Our parents died in a car accident last year and I have no other family who will take me in. My sister knows this. FML

get a place with a roommate on an opposite shift... cheaper rent and you will barely see each other, so toxicity will be super low,along as you bothe handle your own dishes etc.

I am assuming that OP moved back in with family out of economic necessity. There are a lot of people out of work due to the impact of the pandemic and extended federal assistance for unemployment recently ran out. Given that, moving out may not be a viable option at this time for OP. OP, it seems a lot of people are feeling similar pain. Just this morning in “Dear Abbey” a husband was complaining about how his wife had become extra controlling as she was responding to insecurity brought on by the COVID pandemic and it’s effects. It may not help that much, but we are all feeling stress in these times. And it may be a year more before we are back at at some form of “normal.” All I can say is to hang in there. Keep looking for a job if that’s the situation. Note that there are a lot more people using shopping services like “Instacart” during the pandemic and they are probably hiring if you have a car or the use of one.

Free rent is like a gas mask to toxicity.
