On my 17th birthday

 

[Riles]

2nd year of college, my fiancé and I got a place.

 

[DesEsseintes]

18. Went to university and when I came back for Christmas they'd moved house. It was never my home after that - holidays etc but nothing more.

(Yes, they did tell me...)

 

[RobDownSouth]

I graduated high school at 17, didn't have enough money for college, joined the Army.

Nevar looked back.

 

[domroger]

That happened to my dad, although he didn't find out until they drove past the old house.

Dad: Aren't we going home?
Grandparents: Oh yeah, we moved.

 

[neci]

the first year in college, i came home with my tongue pierced. mom flipped. "you only got that to suck dick! how disgusting!" my room was promptly dismantled, repainted and my shit moved into a closet. that summer i lived there, but it was no longer my own space. the next two summers, i took summer classes. ended up graduating early, because of the extra credits i picked up.

 

[Tryharder62]

18, I went to University for 4 years. Graduated in May and got married in June when I was 22.... Don't get me started on that decision.

 

[Tryharder62]

Dang, I posted before I voted in the poll. I didn't see the dolf as mom choice.

 

[unregistered]

 

[dolf]

i voted 20, because that was when i had a place of my own, but in reality i had only gone 'home' when i had no other choice since 17.

 

[lovetoread]

I left home at 15.

 

[chillywilly2]

I still live in the basement...I have it fixed up real nice now though....Mom passed this winter and Aif I'm lucky my brothers and sisters will let me stay here a few more years.

Real lucky and they don't rent the place out and I can move upstairs.

 

[LadyFunkenstein]

I left at 17. My mom ripped the hair out of the top of my head in a fit of rage, and I decided that would be the last time I would deal with her bullshit. I packed a bag and got on a bus within days

Yeah, but was she right?

 

[marshalt]

I graduated in May, turned 18 and left for college that August. I returned home for a few weeks a couple of times, but both times were because I was moving from one place to another and just needed a place to store my stuff.

 

[MeekMe]

"Home" was someplace I went to sleep since 16. After graduation I left for good. I spent nights sleeping in cars and often times just being out not sleeping at all. I don't have a room at my parents house and when I go there it's uncomfortable, like being in the house of strangers.

 

[yossi]

I was 21 or 22 when I got my first apartment. I moved back last year for several months, while I was deciding what I wanted to do. Ended up buying my first home.

 

[silver gurl]

After the age of 18, I visited home a few days a week. I paid rent, even though I was not there much. I officially moved out at 24.

 

[Lancecastor]

I moved out after first year university.

Both my children moved out for university as well.

I keep two spare bedrooms at the ready so they know they always have a place to stay.

And to fool me in to thinking I'll see more of them.

Real lucky and they don't rent the place out and I can move upstairs.

Bonus! Wishing you luck to getting upstairs.

 

[Not Normal]

Later than most. I was gigging and trying to live on the cheap. My folks didn't bug me much, when I did move, I moved 2 hours south.

 

[RedAllan]

From when I started work 17, I often stayed with friends rather than going home an hour and half journey. Then at 18 joined the army, and after a while stopped going home at all.
