Im 20 and live at home with a controlling mother. Ive been running my own small business for the past 2 years and Im now starting to generate enough income to where I could live on my own. The problem is her, it would kill her if I moved out. All I want is my independence. She would never get it and unironically thinks I will be living with her when Im 30. How do I break the news to her Zig Forums? Im planning to just put the downpayment on a duplex with my link gains and move out secretly and explaining over the phone.

Im sure she loves you and all cause shes your mom, but theres a point where every one of us developmental retards have to leave the shitty nest we grew up in. Just rip it off like a band aid and remind yourself you arent here to please your mother. grats on the biz brother
Why would it kill her?
Be your mother's slave for the rest of your life. You don't deserve to have your own life, because mommy has to come first. Don't be a man and do what YOU want with YOUR money and YOUR life. And please, CASTRATE YOURSELF while you're at it.
Sign a contract (rent/purchase idc) and then tell your mother immediately what you have done and what day you are moving. Tell her you love her and thank her for all the help she has given you over the years. If she's incapable of acting maturely at this point then ignore her like you'd ignore a child having a tantrum, you are a man so act like it.
Eh. Just be honest with her.
Also you get a lot more money to invest if you keep living there for a little longer
Set everything up so that you're ready to move. Then tell her face to face like a man. Be kind, stay calm. As she freaks out, come up with a single phrase that you can repeat to her (something like "I know this is a big change Mom, but I need to do it. I'll still be your son and I love you.")
What kind of business? I’ve been wanting to start my own lately.
have to agree with this one. I've been spending the last few years trying to get out of the same situation and finally have. been happy as fuck on my own. toxic relationships only seem good while they are there. even if you think you aren't being controlled and are just worried it would 'kill her', this means you're her bitch yo... get your own god damn life and realize you have your own journey to take. whether that means you start now, or at 30, thats up to you.
