Hi everyone.

I’ll try to keep this as short as possible. I’ve been with my girlfriend for almost a year now and we want to move in together. My dad is happy with that and wants me to live my life and have fun whereas mum is completely against it and trying to make my life difficult. She’s just very protective but it really is suffocating especially as I still share a room with my brother. Im 28 and have wanted my own place for a while. My girlfriend is English and im from Northern Ireland. She’s moving here to be with me permanently so this is my opportunity to finally get out of home. I will be moving out regardless but I just want some advice on how to minimise the effect on mum if at all possible.
