[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, yes I live at home. But i dont wanna move out is that weird? The only time i wanna move out is times like these. But i know if i moved out id be miserable. Ive really never had the desire to live alone[/quote]

OP, 
I haven't read anything but your OP.
I had a very similar upbringing down to living with my parents in my early 20s. It's typical that you feel like you don't want to move. Nothing in the way I was raised made it easy to do. You will feel really guilty. It's part of your upbringing. I know. I had it too. I'm in my late 40s and still feel it.

It's not healthy to stay. You will regret it as you age and nothing changes. Their demands will never stop. It is possible to love your mom and still realize thst they will never treat you as an adult.

I finally cut the cord after I had my own kids and realized that even though I had literally done everything "right" that they wouldn't treat me any better. I thought of all the wasted years where I said no to innocent experiences because of my letting my parents take the reins to my life. Oh well better now than never.

Be good to yourself and make a plan to move yourself out. Don't talk about it too much, because you will feel bad. That's just how we were raised. Think of what your 50 year old self would tell you. Push past. 
Good luck!

Sorry meant to add: if you are still in college or another educational situation, finish and then make a plan. Suck it up until then.
