You ARE doing it. You've seen Austin, you're setting up a meet with pdoc and you're posting here. That's 3 healthy ways of reaching out to others. I urge you to spend time at the new place. It's yours and it’s there for you. It doesn't have to mean you're making a statement about your parents. There are things you can do there to arrange it and move bits and pieces in. Treat it like it's home already. It is. Stay over a time or two or from now on even without your bed. If you make it seem like you're already there, but not completely, it lessens the importance of their being one singular moment when you leave home. Do it in piece. It'll be good for your mental health, make it maybe more palatable to your parents, and is a statement of your independence but in indirect form.
