that I am leaving for Perth, WA next week?
the reason i am leaving is because my girlfriends uncle has a health problem and needs her at the moment, and she needs me there, she was going to arrive today but didn't because of this issue....so I am going to fly there from Launcston, Tas early next week.
Also to add stress to what we both already have me and my parents had a big domestic last night which made this more urgent.....anyway i would like ideas on how to tell my parents I've had enough of their **** and am leaving and not comming back apart from during holidays..
so ideas please people

let me tell you this. i am myself from launceston.
This is going to be tough on you and also your parents but it mite be a good thing for you, dont give them grief about it but have some compassion as they are your parents and they love you. but if you need to go then go. but be kool about it and good luck.

Don't burn any bridges - in America that means don't say things and ruin the relationship permanently. Tell them you are going to try new things, or be with the girlfriend, or you just need to be on your own and this opportunity came up. Leave out the part about how you are sick of them...that will hurt them and then with you leaving it will be too hard for them.
Remember that while they are not perfect, they gave birth to you and raised you and believe it or not, they love you. So love them back, and say goodbye with respect and kindness.

Let me just say this first. I lost my father 19 years ago last May 22. The things you say today will be forever in your mind and in the mind of those you said it to. My father died knowing I loved him and wanted him to be proud of me.
Don't say the words that will make a problem, my father (wise old dude) use to tell me that "you better put sugar on the words you speak because you may have to eat them later" I leave you with that thought. Be well and happy.

Tell them you're moving. That your visits will be few and far between. That way if you ever need anything, they'll still be there for you. There's no sense in pissing them off if you don't need to. You're moving anyway. Be happy with that. Good luck.

Your grown. You parents will love you and they will miss you but you have to live your life and do you. Tell them your moving. Tell them what you told us.
