I’m 18, and for the last 3 years, my mom’s been putting me through a lot emotionally. I can’t live with her anymore and want to separate as quickly and peacefully as possible. Can you please guide me on how to do this?

At 18, you are legally an adult in India and have the right to live independently. You can move out and establish your own residence. To ensure a peaceful separation, consider communicating with your mother about your decision and try to resolve any outstanding issues amicably. If you feel unsafe or threatened, seek help from a trusted adult or a legal professional.
