Kathy Jo,
You need to make up a deadline to meet and schedule your move. Sit down
and work out a budget and plan out how you'll meet your financial
obligations and how you'll take care of yourself. Then sit down with your
parents and show them what you've worked out. I think this will likely be
the only way you'll be able to take control and move out with your parents'
support.
You seriously need to show them you can do it. And the only way you'll be
taken seriously as a capable adult is to show you can do all this logically
and not emotionally. The more you let your emotions get caught up in this,
the less chance you have of showing them you can do it.
Just my tuppence.
Kat

Joy, my parents suggest to wait. They are thinking I will make a mistake
. I don't know how I feel about the organization that I will be working
with.
