Are you an only child? Many times parents of only children don't want to let go fearing once you are free you will never come back & then they have lost their baby.

It is good to be independent & grow up & be responsible for yourself whether parents want it ir not. Reassuring them that you will always be there fir them whether living in their house or not SOMETIMES helps but sometimes we just have to do what is best fir us & let the chips fall where they may.....after all growing up & leaving home is a NORMAL process of life even for wild animals
