I just moved out, should I bring my cat with me?

Hey reddit, so I opened an account just to post this and seek for advice cause I'm getting desperate. I have a 9 year old cat and she's been my baby girl ever since I adopted her in 2012 as a kitten, I even got her tattoed in my leg. For many years she was the only cat we had at home, so she is not very social with other cats and even people except for me and my mom. Over the last three years my parents got three more cats who get along so well between them, but my cat just never fully accepted them. Up to these days she growls at them, scratches them and refuses to share anything with them. She loves to have her very own space but at the same time she loves company, so she's willing to stay in the same room with the other 3 cats as long as she's with someone and the other cats don't bother her.

I moved out of my parents home about six months ago because I got a job out of my country. I have a nice apartment for myself in a pet friendly community and next week I'm going over to my parents for a week. I want so badly to bring her with me because I miss her and I feel lonely without her after many years of having my cuddle buddy. My family and friends try to convince me to just adopt one from where I live now but I want MY cat, I'm sure anyone reading this post up to this point understands how I feel. I'm affraid she might not be happy living here just the two of us. My parents work all day and so do I, so the only company she has there are the other cats that she doesn't like while I'd be the only company she would have when I get back from work. Would it be a good idea to bring her with me knowing I can afford all of her needs or is it just my selfish desire and would be better to leave her at home?
