[InnocentAngel81]

How old were you when you moved away from home? and how did you feel?I'm 20 and I still cant break away

18, Hurrah

 

[Sateema Lunasi]

I was fifteen.

I went to performing arts school in another country. I was scared shitless. I was in a huge city...alone. It sucked.

 

[BustyTheClown]

I was 18 when I went off to college. I couldn't have been happier to get out of my home and my hometown, and I've had trouble going back -- bad shit always seems to happen. There are lots of skeletons in my closet back home, and lots of unresolved conflict (at least in my mind there are, which is all that really matters to me). I want to miss it and feel like I want to go back, but I can't. Not now, anyway.

 

[sabbathstorm]

I was 21 and didn't leave under the best circumstances. Basically things were shitty at home so I packed up some things and left. I haven't gone back since but I do have a good relationship with my mother. We just can't get along under the same roof.

 

[chidbar]

moved out

moved out at 21 and have never looked back. break the ties it just feels great

 

[InnocentAngel81]

Ive been dying to move out since I was 12, I have a very controling mother,cant really do anything so I stay in my room infront of my laptop talking to you guys.

 

[chidbar]

Can't let others control you (all the time) make the move It just feels great.

 

[lickerish]

20, just me and my 2 kids. It's great

 

[nasty]

Don't feel bad. I didn't leave until I was 22. I felt pretty happy, because, now I could do anything I wanted without having to worry about Mom. Because, most of it dealt with porn. But, then I realized that most of the occupants in the building were antisocial, so, it effected my social life,(like I had one before.)

 

[Wiggles]

A month away from 18. I was so ready to go. Having a boyfriend that was coming to stay with me made it a lot easier.

 

[ksmybuttons]

I went away to college at 17 and, after I graduated, moved back for a year to earn money to move. Moved completely away at 22.

 

[Boutoo]

Half left, half got kicked out when I was 17. My home life was far from perfect, so it suited me just fine

 

[Willing and Unsure]

i left when i was 18... almost 19.. for college. i'm really happy to be away and am enjoying myself while i'm away. when i do go home, i end up extremely messed up and feeling really alone. and then when i get back here, i push everyone away because of how depressed and alone i feel.

 

[AzureAngel]

19. I had no problems leaving - but then again, I'm not close to my family in the least of ways.

Damn you, Lickerish. Damn you and your AVs.

 

[Summery]

I left home at 18. I was more than ready. Nothing better than new found freedom.

 

[AzureAngel]

A friend of mine finally moved out at 20... he's had a rough time with it, because he's so close to his family. Particularly his mother. He goes to his parents' probably two or so nights per week for several hours... talks to his mother every day... just havin' a rough time separating.

Depends on the person, I s'pose.

 

[Ishmael]

I left home at the age of 12, I just didn't tell my parents until I was 17.

I started my own business at the age of 12. Once I had financial independence (sorta anyway) I pretty much came and went as I pleased. Although I must say the food at the place I stayed most nights was better than anywhere else. (My mother was a GREAT cook.)

I bought my first car at 15 as an investment, fixed it up and bought a car to drive just before my 16th birthday. From that day forward it was only a matter of time.

Halfway through my 17th year, I made it official and left.

WOW!

You were an industrious child, Ishmael.

 

[J.B.]

Innocent...

You & I are in the same freakin boat! It's just cheaper to live @ home while you're going to school... The cool thing though is that my mom just leaves me alone & let's me do my own thing.
I do plan to move out after I get my AA and do the next 4 years of school after that on my own.

19. My parents moved away and I wanted to stay back and finish school.

 

[SexyChele]

18, here. But moved back home when I was 20 for one week waiting for an apartment to be painted. A painful week at that.

Also moved back home at 31 to help my mother care for my father, who was dying. Not good, very, very not good. The whole situation sucked and couldn't wait to get out again.

Re: WOW!

Still am, just older now.

My parents couldn't handle finding out i was gay. They found a bunch of dirty magazines and a book of gay stories i wrote in my room. So one day when i came home from school all my stuff was packed up and they told me i was moving in with my sister...which was a nightmare and lasted a few months...so I left home,came to new york City and i haven't looked back since. Eventually we patched things up and I'm kind of glad the way things have worked out for me.

Living on your own is great.

You get to masturbate whenever you want.

 

[Kitte]

At 15 I left for boarding school, moved back home at 18 for 3 months and except for another 3 months last year after my apt burned down, I havent looked back. And thinking back on it living in the smoldering remains of my apt. would have been easier.
