Or even living on your own in general?

I’m considering if maybe next year, I should try move out of the house. If the stress of juggling working and studying would be less than dealing with home. But I got 0 experience with being independent (my mom won’t even let me walk two blocks on my own without demanding I let her know when I’m home) and if I’m ready for it or even if you can’t be ready I guess?

My dad wants to put me in a dorm in 1/2 years so I’ll be partially on my own but idk if it’s a good idea to still be tied to them? Or wait longer.

Idk maybe someone with experience has some advice, if it’s doable or not, or even just someone to chat to (after ya know the holidays is good enough).

Becoming independent is both amazing and a little overwhelming if you're also working and going to school. However, that also depends on how much you're working and how many classes you're taking. I'm working full-time (so like 40-45 hours a week generally) and go to school part-time (so at least 3 classes a semester) and it's doable, but really tiring. But from how your family is, it might be good for you to at least get that stress out of the way, and being able to do stuff all on your own is really rewarding in itself.
