At the age of 18 you are a legal adult and are capable of making decisions that you feel is right for you. If you feel like you need to move away when you turn 18 than the choice is totally there for you.

I think that what you feel about your family has not to be questioned, what you feel is what you feel and that is absolutely all right. It is only a guess but I suppose that if you hate your family and consider moving out as soon as possible it means that you don't want or just can't share with your family in any way about what makes you feel so bad. Therefore, if you feel the need to move out as soon as you turn 18 and if you can afford it (money, supportive friends, etc.), I really think that you have the right to be glad to do so, no regret, no shame, no guilt.

Of course that's okay. First though, make sure you have some form of safety-net (like a close friend/family member willing to take you in if rent falls out). Also be sure of why you're doing this. Is your family abusive? Make sure you talk to a therapist or counsellor about your family issues and see if you can get help.

Absolutely! Not everybody gets along with their families(I know I don't) and it's nothing to be ashamed about! Any relationship you have should be based in a mutual love and respect for one another and if your relationship with your family is a bad one, there is no need to push for things that aren't there, you know?

It's okay to feel hostility towards your family, I definitely did when I lived at home. The best thing to do is to focus on making yourself happy and building towards a positive future where you can support yourself when you do move out

That is totally understandable! My parents also put me through hell and i would move out. But imagine if you were gone, think about how they would feel. If you think they wouldn't care then pursue it. However, if you have the slightest doubt then rethink everything.

running from and not facing your problems and feeling is never the answer , the act of running is like when your room is in chaos , you don't get it organized !!! you go find a new house to live in !!

Speaking as someone who does not know about what you have gone through and your family, I feel like this question should be directed towards yourself. What made you hate your family? Why is it that you want to move out? Is there anything you can do to change these reasons? Self-reflecting is a great way to see what you want. I think it is completely okay to move out, but just make sure you know what you are going to be getting yourself in to, first.

It's perfectly ok if you don't like you family. Not all families are great, not all parents are good at parenting. Moving out and find your place in the world is your right
