I feel so guilty and I need some help

...See more Hey guys :) my parents have always had manipulative and selfish parenting styles and It’s been a lot worse this last year. Basically, my parents are moving to another state pretty far from where we live now and want me to come with them. I’m in my early 20s and in college. In this last year I have chosen to stay here and finish the remainder of college I have left including getting into my desired program I’ve been working towards. And I’m so excited and relived half of the time but the other half... I feel guilty and selfish for staying here. My parents are constantly this last year trying to bribe me or guilt me into coming but I really do not wish to. All my siblings are moving there or close by, so it’s just me as my parents have said, “abandoning my roots”. They often have tried offering me material things if I move there such as paid college which does sting that they wouldn’t do that now but only if I did what they wanted. Idk I’m just having a really hard time nearing the move that’s soon with feeling guilty or like I’m doing something wrong because I can see it’s clearly upsetting my parents. Any advice or commentary would help :)
