I think you first need to recognize that you are a 25 year old woman! I appreciate that you respect your parents but they in turn also need to have respect for you and that you are capable of making the correct decissions.

My daughter is 18 years old and we discuss things are are open, I'm sorry that you don't have that open communication with your parents. So with that said, you need to respectfully step up and just tell them you are going on your trip. As a mother of 3, I feel my job is to raise my children to the best of my ability and as adults they will be capable of making the best moral decisions. I don't expect them to spend all of their spare time with me, and you should not feel guilty for wanting to have your own adult life.

You may want to also consider getting your own apartment so that way you can feel more independent. Did you go to school? Have a career?
