I have opportunity to go college in Florida. However when I have the opportunity to leave home I never do because I’m afraid to leave. There have been many times when I have had opportunities to leave but I never did because my mom used vocal/destructive torture to make me give in? (yelling/crying/hitting things hitting me..) - telling me I would get killed.
I also worry about my sister whom older then me well being. On her budget there is way she can take care of things on her and and my nmom won’t help us with the bills |

Well... the only thing I can say is that, many years ago when I first went to college, I lived with my parents.
 After a couple of years of that I moved into a dorm on campus & it was a breath of fresh air.

Wow... I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It sounds like you are being systematically controlled and downright abused by your mom (both mentally and physically it seems like from your description). It’s worrying because your mom seems extremely codependent on you and your sister. Which is not healthy for her or for you! Has your Mom considered getting help emotionally to deal with any of this dependency she feels towards her children? |

She won’t. She has other problems too is an emotional eater. Has health problems do to health. But here’s the problem I don’t feel right just leaving her. But if I tell her she will stop me. If just leave and tell her later she will physically come get me. Also I’m afraid I will fail and it will be “proof” that i can’t be independent before. I have lived on my own before but not in a another state thousand miles away. Considered living a nearby state but decided it would be too easy for her to come get me. Also my sister won’t be able to support herself and my mo. Sense my mo won’t help with the. Bills. However part of me knows that if I don’t take a leap in faith I will end being regretful that I didn’t pursue my passion |

You can and will make it on your own.
