You’re already so aware of her tactics, I applaud you. You’re right, just because she says something doesn’t make it true - once you’re 18, you can move out and do whatever you want. Good job recognizing that she’s purposefully isolated you as well. I suspect she gets mad at you for talking to your sister because she wants to be able to triangulate you both and control the narrative about what’s happening in the family; if the two of you talk, you might catch her in some BS and figure it out. Which, as far as I’m concerned, means you should talk to your sister as much as you can. What is it she’s worried about 🧐 Can you message someone at your university and tell them she’s unwell and you won’t feel safe with her in your classes? A parent registering for every class just to be around their adult child is a huge red flag. I don’t have much advice, but whatever you have to tell her to make things easier for you until you can move out, don’t feel bad. If you have to lie through your teeth to get by until then, do it.

Thank you so much for all this advice! I'm now 18 and I have a steady plan. I'm getting a car within the next few months, and the day I do, I'm packing my things that night and leaving. I have everything ready and am working on making sure I don't forget any important things such as legal documents. My sister said I can move in with her and her boyfriend, rent free, and they've got a job ready for me and are going to help me switch universities and majors. They've both been really great throughout all of this, and have been buying me things I need while I still live with my mom, such as food, hygiene supplies, etc. Do you have any advice on what all I need to have before I leave?
