Heh, I'm back again. Summary: I'll be moving out of an abusive, hostile household very soon, and staying with some already established old college friends in Manhattan until I can get a fairly good-paying job and find my own place/all that fun stuff.
I just have no clue how to go about it... the actual leaving. I've been in such a blur since I realized what everything has come to, that I can barely think of a way to go about this. Though I've been threatened with eviction plenty of times, I know actually moving out is (ironically) going to cause me to be a pariah in the family vilified for years to come. Not to mention the explosive reaction its going to cause. Can anyone give any advice how to go about this?

the best idea i have is to secretly have all your stuff packed and ready to go (pack and hide the suitcases etc while they are out shopping or something, make sure they wont be back for a while before you start packing, you dont want them to come home and find you midway thru ofcourse) then hide the luggage and wait for the next time they go out and will be gone a couple hours. make prior arrangements to get picked up and taken to the airport...a friend, bus, taxi etc. when they are out for the second time, leave a note on the fridge saying youve left so they dont end up telling every cop in the tri-state area lol, then just leave. when they get back you will be miles away and they wont be able to touch you! make sure you take everything you want/need with you, and double check, coz once youve gone you cant go back. make sure you take enough money etc too. best of luck!

Wait until they leave the house, move, and leave them a nice note telling them that you love them, but need to get out on your own to find out what you want in life. Do not bring up anything bad. It can't be changed, and will only come back to haunt you later!!!

Be prepared for battle. When I moved out it was quite scary. there was alot of yelling and threatening. be as calm as you can, simply pack your bags and calmly announce then get in your car and drive off. when they yell and scream and throw things don't be bothered by it, remember your going to a better place.

Get out as fast as you can and start living your life. Escape with your life while you still can.
