Simply because leaving home is not always smooth
or easy, below are some suggestions to help the process
along:
*Ask your parents about their own experience in leaving home.
*Allow yourself to grieve.
*Practice making decisions without consulting your parents.
*Acknowledge that your family will get along without you.
*Be patient with yourself; leaving home does not happen overnight and you need some time to adjust.
*From time to time, it is useful to realize that your parents are probably as confused about your life as you are.
*Remember your baptism; from the moment you are baptized you belong to God. It is God's intent that everyone discover and develop all their gifts.
