More and more recently, my girlfriend has been bullied by her parents. The are very religious, and very homophobic. We are lesbians, and have decided that the best thing for her to do is to move out to get away from them, and instead live with me and my housemates, who are my old high school friends.
My girlfriend has intense anxiety, and is on medication but hasn't been able to find a psychologist that is the right fit for her. Our relationship is good, and her moving in will be a great improvement for her mental health. The problem is that her parents have a strong Greek background, meaning they really don't want her to leave them. Her parents have been emotionally manipulative, and it's really damaging. She hasn't been able to come out to them, so she has to say she's moving in with friends.
She doesn't know how to tell her mum that she is moving out, and knows that once she leaves her parents, they will divorce. I guess what I'm asking is for some advice to make her transition as easy as possible because I know she's really anxious about the impact this will have on her family and herself), and for suggestions on how she can tell her mum. Maybe even for support organisations? I can't find any that seem to offer the right services.
Thanks in advance.
