At what age did you leave home?

Question

And how did you support yourself? Did you leave for uni or work? Were you on good terms with your parents? What's your age now (if you don't mind...)?

Just looking forward to read about to other people's life experiences, and hopefully learn from them.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I left home when I was 17 to attend college. So in that situation my parents helped. But I always maintained a job and my parents contribution was minimal. I'm 27 right now I have moved back home after 8 years, because I relocated back to a major city from a small one and expenses are to much right now. But I work now and contribute to house hold

Answer 2

I was 18 and had a full time job for 2 years prior to moving out. I'm on good terms with my parents. I only moved back once when my sister and mom got a big farm house to live in when I was 30. Moving out at such a young age taught me to be independent and not rely on mommy and daddy to bale me out. I'm 48.

Answer 6

My younger sister stole some things from my parents when I was 17, and blamed it on me. My parents kicked me out because they hate thieves and weren't going to allow one to live with them.  I was about to finish the 11th grade. I moved in with my boyfriend to finish the school year, went to work for the summer, and went back to school in the fall. I finished the 12th grade, and worked part time after school and on weekends. I was not on good terms with my parents for a very long time. But, I'm 27 now, and have forgiven them. If I had had a rough go of it, I might not have forgiven them, but I was very independant and driven to succeed.
