What makes you think you can just move out & not tell them? They're going to find out or they're going to get suspicious when you're not there anymore.
You need to sit your parents down & tell them. Tell them you're in a relationship with another woman, and that you and that woman have plans to move in together. If your parents are open-minded, chances are they won't really mind the relationship too much, but you can expect them to probably blow their top about you moving out. If they're not open-minded, they'll get pissed about both of those things.
In the end, the decision to move out is always going to be yours. If you're 18, your parents cannot stop you. I moved out of my house the day after my 18th birthday, and I moved 2000 miles away. Moving out of a parents house is a very hard thing to do. I really hope that you have a job and transportation of some sort because moving out without either of those things wouldn't really be a wise idea.
Also, not to totally wipe out your whole idea of moving in with your girlfriend, but I suggest you re-think it. People are very different once you live with them. They have bad habits, behavior, manners, etc that you don't see when you're not together all the time. While moving in with someone can be a good thing, there are negative aspects so you really need to make sure that you can handle the changes within the relationship because it's a very hard thing to adjust to and if you don't like the way that person is when you're around them 24/7 then that's a big thing. So really take the time to consider that before you make a final decision to move out.
I really wish you luck. I hope your parents take the news well, and I hope that you take the time to re-consider moving in with someone. It's a really big decision that sometimes does not work out as planned. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

when you tell her your moving out maybe you want to cook her dinner and make sure you talk to her at a time where she wont get interrupted, thats why i said over dinner might be good because thats a really good seen to socialise. just ask her not to get angry and before hand make sure youve planned out everything your going to say to her. tell her that you need your space and you think your ready to move out with your friend.
When your ready to tell her about your gf go to her place and have a cup of tea sit together have a chat with eachother so she gets to know your gf and after youve had time to get to know one another you can tell her about your knews. [ sia's advice column | Ask sia A Question ]
