How old were you when you left home?

[BVP246]

i was 18

16

17 in 1989. Got a job in a hotel with accommodation.
Moved back with parents for a couple of months during off season the first year but back to the hotel asap.
Rented a flat with xh at 18, bought house at 19.

Looking back it seems so young!

17

15

16. I didn’t leave home the family did and I stayed.

12 to boarding school, 18 to university, 21 finally and fully

21. Bought a flat with Fiancé then got married. How times have changed for young people😢

30. LOL. I loved my mama. But once I went, I went. Didn't boomerang back.

19

24 (I'd moved out at 18 for uni but then back at 21 so I consider 24 my proper moving out). It couldn't have been any younger as I had severe mental health problems in my early twenties.

17

15. Mother chucked me out, never went back

18 for uni.
19 properly.

I was 28. My Mum was so sad! My Dad had left and I was a financial and emotional help.

@CuriousaboutSamphire wow! That's harsh.

18 and then 26 also a few months in my 40s post-divorce that drove us all crazy.

18 and a few days, went to Uni in a different country
20 and 10 months graduated and went back to my parents'
Moved out permanently at 21 and 5 months

Moved in with my with boyfriend at 18 (his house), returned home temporarily at 20 then moved back in with boyfriend (our house), returned home temporarily at 21 when we split up then got my own place a few months later and never lived at home since.

16 (1990). Never went back.

18

15 and never looked back, put myself through college and uni and bought my first flat at 26

18 and into a houseshare as was sick of my parents trying to use me as an unpaid nanny/housekeeper to my 2 much younger siblings.

Best thing I ever did;actually wish I'd done it at 16:I could afforded it on my wages from my part time job at the time and it would have stopped my parents from taking a chunk from my weekly wages even though they got money for me being in full time education.

It wasn't uncommon where I lived to be put out of the home between 16-18;I know someone who let their DS's friend stay with them for abit as the pair of them were going into the forces and had a short gap of a month or so between finishing education and their start date and the friends parents put him out on his last day at school saying they'd no longer get any CB/TC for him and they weren't paying for him anymore.

15 ,couldn't take living there anymore.
