oh you don;t ask a new question to reply on your own thread, post an answer under this one.
You need to be organised, secure, safe and honest before you tell your folks you are leaving, they will respect you and may even help and support you , if you are straight with them and act like the adult you are anting to be. if that means hanging around with your folks a few months longer then do it, but when you are really ready and organised, remember they love you and don;t want you in harms way
