I moved out of my mom's house a moth back after she started a fight. last night, she pulled up in her car while I was walking and we talked for an hour. the whole time we argued and calmed down on and off. she wants me to go back home because she is worried about how she is going to present herself to her friends and claims it isn't Christian for a young girl to live away from home, but if I hadn't left I would have not known a thing about life and not accomplished the many milestones I faced prior to it. Spiritually I am better now because my family went to a russian baptist church in which the language barrier could not get through to me. My dad and brother are getting on her for starting that fight and blaming it on her. I love my parents and everything, but I would like to live my own life for a change. is it wrong for me to live on my own? if not, is this something they'll get used to eventually

You didn't tell us how old you are. I'm assuming you are over eighteen?
It is always difficult for us older folks when we have to realze that our kids are growing up and away from us, and they don't need us any more. Sometimes, we try too hard to hang on, and in the long run, that only pushes the young ones further from us.
No, it isn't wrong for you to live on your own, Hun, but I can understand how difficult it is for your Mom to lose her baby. Try to be patient and understanding with her, this is a hard time in her life.
How do I know? I have seven grown kids of my own, and fourteen grandkids.
Been there, done that!!

I think they'll get used to it sometime. It's really shocking to watch your sons or daughters go away from home, it makes them feel old lolz. But that's the way things go I mean, you can't live with your parents forever and if you feel it's time to go, then go, nothing or no one can stop you. You say that you wanna live your own life if that makes you happy then your mother should be happy for you, just make sure you don't toss her out of your life.

Being a teen is tough. the good news is that people are there to help you through it. You should talk with a school counselor or even your doctor. Help IS available.

She has to realize that at some point you have to move away from home. Maybe she just doesn't like that you are growing up.

She is worried about how she will present herself to friends.....
I know that woman. She is a control freak and will say and
do anything to keep you under her thumb.
Forewarned is fore-armed.
Good luck. ;-)

You should do what you what you want it's your body you do what you want.

Please pray about it.
Talk with your Pastor, Pastor's wife or Spiritual leader (Minister, Priest, etc)
