| Tell her exactly what you just told us. Be direct and confident. Tell how you plan to support yourself and how everybody will pay their part. Most important reassure her in a subtle way that you don't hate her and you aren't trying to cut her out of her life. I've been through this situation twice (how depressing), but just to let you know. Unless you and your family well set financially (and your friends are incredibly responsible) you may be wiser to live at home. You and your friends can still hang out even if you don't live with them. |
