I'm confused I read somewhere that for you to be eligible to apply for citizenship one of the requirements is you're not out of the country for at least 18 months? is this true

Read this then you will not be confused anymore and it will no longer be hearsay.

If a LPR is out of the country for more than 12 months without obtaining a re-entry permit that can be considered

Abandoning Permanent Resident Status.

Your stay outside of the U.S. is ok.

Here is the USCIS web page with the information you need regarding naturalization.

No. There are residency requirements though. Staying outside more than 6 months pauses your naturalisation clock. Read the instructions VERY carefully so you ensure that you are eligible to apply at the time you apply otherwise it's a total waste of $600+.

OP if you can show that during your absence, your immediate family remained in the U.S. (and they did), you retained full access to your home and you did not work while abroad, this may establish that you did not disrupt your residency.
