I'm a 30 year old female and had lived with my parents all my life. I also have a sister, who is 28, who lives with the parents too.
I didn't feel much shame living with my parents in my 20s, for I knew that a lot of young, unmarried people did the same as they studied or were job seeking.
Now that time has passed, and I'm feeling more determined than ever to get real world/ independence experience.
There is one issue: I love my mum very much and I talk to her every day. If I was on holiday on my own, I get anxious and depressed very quickly and have to email her just for the communication.
The main obstacle holding me back from renting is money. I'm hoping my current job wages will increase in the next few months, as my boss promised.
The emotional obstacle is my family. I know I'm getting older, but I still get a timid fear of not being around my mum.
Is this normal and will eventually resolve itself? Or something abnormal, like maybe I'm too attached to my mum?
