Hello, I am living with my parents and would love to move out I have a bad relationship with my mom and my father is absent. My mom tends to mistreat me or doesn't care if I'm starving she steals hundreds of money of mine and I am 18. I have a dissociated issues where I'm distant towards my family and I don't think to fix my relationship with her will work out she has a superiority complex and refuses to listen to me or even care for me. This a rant if anyone has any advice about moving out I'll gladly take notes.

Do you happen to have your ID, a car, a credit/debit card, or a job? I understand wanting to get away from parents, I live with my dad and he's pretty unstable. I understand not feeling like reconnecting, because it's pointless in some cases. So, my advice is to start working. Even if you don't have a car, you can do Uber with a card and not worry about gas and stuff. I'm sorry if it isn't the best advice, but it isn't the best situation you're in. Best of luck

if it ever gets to bad i would sujest trying to find a friend that would let you crash on there couch for a couple of days i know that this kinda sounds like running away but sometimes people go crazy if they talk/see the same people for years

sorry im a bit late to this

The military is always an option. Your old enough to sign up without parental approval. I was in a similar situation, and that's the path I took. Not saying its the only one, but keep your mind open to it.

you can legally live by yourself btw. it better of you to leave now than later, from what i've read. one day you'll have to move out eventually.

if it really is a toxic relationship, don't sacrifice your happiness just for her. from what i've read, she sounds like a deadbeat mother who can't provide the love her children needs.

so yes, i suggest moving out.
its okay if it is not immediate though, as it will happen one day.
but you yourself decides when.

If you can stay with a friend or different family member, then move out. You are legally able to, and if she tries to stop you or force you to stay, then get the law involved.

I have the same issue with my mom, but Im only 17, and still in school, so I have to stay. But you are able to legally leave.

When I started talking about moving out, my family tried to take my money as well so that I couldn’t leave. I stayed with a friend for a few months while I saved up money to afford my own apartment. They were concerned about me possibly turning into a mooch instead of moving out, so they kept a close watch on my money, which was really annoying, but when I got close, they gave me the last bit that I needed to get started, which was teally awesome. I don’t know if that will help for your situation, but that’s what I did.

At 18, you can go to the bank and get a bank account that your mom does not have access to. Save your money there and hide the card so your mom can’t take any more money. Then look into the monthly cost of apartments in your area. See if you can get a two bedroom and move out with a friend (me and my sister moved out together so we could split the cost of rent). Apply for better jobs while you save money, to make sure you’ll be able to pay whatever the monthly rent. It’s surprisingly not that difficult to get out on your own as long as you can cover rent.
