Wow, I don’t think I could ever move back in with my mother or father (they are divorced). It’s just too difficult. I am 24 and finally my own person, I could never live with her and feel like a child again. I think if you’re really in an existential crisis, then okay. But for me, it would only be an option if I was otherwise homeless. Until then, I would so not do that. Living with your parents as an adult is stressful for both: you are grown-up and don’t want their opinions or even rules about some things. They have you back and automatically fall back into a parent-child-dynamic, which leads to confrontation because you’re not a child anymore but you’ll always be THEIR child. You know what I mean?
Well dear, go look for your own place, because staying too long could strain your relationship in an unnecessary way. I’m sure they love you, so the only thing you can do is be your true self and be an adult by telling them: “Look, I like my life, I like that it’s not organized, that I’m not perfect. Please respect that.” If they don’t want to hear that, leave.
And that way you could still salvage that relationship.
