I tried to do this as well for many years.. to do what was expected of me ..... it didn't work (one parent had NPD and the other had NPD or severe co dependency
)
Travel can be wonderful (if I'd left the house to travel and / or get my own place at age 18 and maybe never gone back.. I hope nobody in this thread has "regrets" like this ever
But it's never too late to leave
(in my case the whole thing was "too messed up" but in general I'd advise leaving "before they throw you out" )
This is to no one in particular. I'm an old bear now, howling at the moon
