AITA for refusing to tell my mom my new address?

Sarah Mitchell 1122 comments

In the quiet rebellion of love, a young woman dared to defy the chains of tradition and secrecy, choosing her happiness over the suffocating expectations of her family.

The weight of betrayal and harsh words could have shattered her spirit, yet instead, it ignited a fierce resolve to claim her life on her own terms, surrounded by those who truly care.

Amidst the storm of broken ties and silent treatments, she found sanctuary in the unwavering support of her boyfriend and sister, carving out a new path where love transcends religion, culture, and race.

Though shadows of the past linger in fractured family ties, she stands unbroken, embodying the courage to live authentically and fiercely guard her newfound freedom.

The crowd poured into the comments, bringing a blend of heated opinions, solid advice, and a few reality checks along the way.

The original poster (OP) is currently experiencing significant conflict stemming from parental disapproval of their relationship and subsequent decision to move in with their boyfriend without disclosing their location.

While the OP feels justified in protecting their relationship and emotional well-being by withholding their address, their mother perceives this secrecy as inconsiderate and a threat to the OP's safety, causing her considerable stress.

Should the OP prioritize their personal autonomy and the immediate protection of their living situation by keeping the address hidden, or is there an ethical obligation to disclose their location to a parent who genuinely fears for their safety, even if that parent previously acted inappropriately?
