I'm 28 and I want to move out. To say my dad has been abusive is an understatement. It caused my parents to separate. My dad remarried when I was 14 or 15 and both my dad and stepmom have treated me like garbage since. My stepmom always makes snide comments when I pray, saying I'm not praying on time, talking to me while I pray etc. They leave the lights on at night knowing I am a light sleeper and have to be up early for work (I sleep in the living room). My stepmom always raises her voice and I have to bite my tongue. I don't want to make a decision out of emotion. I want to leave in a dignified fashion & more importantly make sure it's the right decision. Lately I feel like I might explode out of anger, that is the primary motivation for moving out it's getting out of control. I don't want to do something i'm going to regret. Id rather just separate myself. My dad also does not talk to me anymore because I go occasionally to see my mom and my sister (and I went to her wedding).He will go 1-3 years at a time without saying a word. He basically views my mom and sister as enemies since they have their differences and emotionally weaponized me and my brother against my mother by not letting her see us since the split. I've logically rationalized this in my head. By moving out I'm not at risk of lashing out my pent up frustration. My worship will be better. There's loads more context I could provide (just ask) but the question remains. I want to make sure the primary driver for any decision I make is the pleasure of Allah and that I'm not making a hasty decision based on my emotions.
