What do you do when you are trying to grow up and be an adult, but your parents won't let you?
I am out of college and still living at home with my mom and sister. I want to move to another city and start a career. My parents do not think that I am ready. They said that if I go, they will not support me in anyway. In other words, my leaving will turn my parents against me. I do not know what their problem is. I am 24 years old, so I think that is considered old enough to make my own decision. They are trying to make me feel guilty by insinuating that I am ruining my life if I don't listen to them.
I don't want them to be against me, but I want to start my own life. What would you do?

So, you're 24 years old and a college graduate, but you can't support yourself without your parents help? You won't move out because they say you can't? Am I reading that correctly?

If so, maybe they're right.

As has been suggested above, get your assets together and make the move.
