My sister, 22, and I, 19, are planning to move out with her friend who is 24ish. My sister and I have no idea how to tell my parents. They're incredibly
controlling and tend to interrupt while we're talking. So I'm wondering how to approach this.

Start to pack your stuff and say "oh, by the way, we're moving!"

I just brought it up randomly to my dad. "Oh.. tomorrow morning I'm going to check out a few apartments.."

I didn't have to, I'm transferring to a school that's 30/45 minutes away, and living down there cause it would just make sense and i'm almost
21--i'm ready to go!

My brother is moving out for school this semester, too. They still think we're going to stay in the same house for a long while. We're 22 and 19! I
need to get out!!

I said "Hey, (now ex-)roommate wants me to move in with her when her lease ends."

I lived in PA at the time, so I said "I'm going to MD to get an apartment and go to school...and I am leaving on Sunday"

The other person we're moving in with knows the person we're renting from through a relative. |

Where in Georgia?? How the hell is a HOUSE 400 bucks a month?!
And for me, it was just assumed I would when I went away to college. |

Again, we know a few people and worked it out to be that low.
I live half an hour from Atlanta. |
