I just bought a house for the purpose of gaining some independence and building my own life and identity. However I’m 31 and I am struggling so much about not being with my parents. One reason is that I worry so much about them, English is their second language, my dad has health issues from having cancer 10 years a go, and I just worry about my mum having all of the pressure on her. The other concern is that I don’t know what my identity is outside of being a daughter. They are my primary motivation and really the only thing that brings me any kind of comfort. They are both so proud of me and they encourage this move, I am just so terrified and I don’t know how to stop worrying. I won’t be far (30 minutes) but I still hate the thought of being away from them and then being away from me if they ever need my help or support.
