If you moved out right at 18, did you do so because your family life was in the sh!t?

Mikaela is going to have a little brother!
I moved 8 hours away to go to college 4 months before I turned 18. It was awesome - I really craved freedom. I did come home for 2 summers.
My home life was not sh!t at all - it was actually kinda hard to leave. I was just bored and ready for an adventure.

This, to the point that it's creepy. Except I was 19, it was after 1st year University.
No, I went to college, but got an apartment right after Freshman year with friends. It was the norm where I lived/started college since the COL was really low. I was also always very independent, so it was ideal.
I was the 3rd child, so my parents were actually pretty happy with having the house to themselves!
I'm sorry you had this happen too. I swear, I went home for Christmas break and didn't know where the freaking spoons were, so much changed. They moved after my first year and didn't make a room for me at the new house. That was the end of that.

No, I had a great home life.
I also moved out to go to school but I came home on breaks every year and moved back home for couple of years after graduating. It was free and life was good at home. They weren't very strict and I was a pretty good teen/college aged kid.
I was wondering about those who didn't go to college and just left at 18 because they were an "adult".
Ok, I got it. I came home for breaks as well, but ended up moving across the country for grad school immediately following undergrand, met DH, and the rest is history. : )
Sadly, I knew of some classmates in high school who were told they were on their own as soon as they graduated. : (

Same. I graduated h.s. in June and we moved in together in October.
my read shelf:
my family was in a transition state, to put it mildly. I left to go to college at 17 but never really went back because it didn't feel like home after that. Family life wasn't bad though.
I also went to college 45 minutes away from where my mom lives, so home was just a little too close for me.
Yeah. I could not STAND my mother (still can't). I thought if I stayed I would probably kill her. She was (and still is) an alcoholic and when she's sober she's so nice but when she's drunk she's the nastiest biitch I know.
I felt bad leaving my little brother all alone with her but she was always nicer to him anyway.
She's only been nice to me since I had DD.

this was me. on my own once I graduated. my home life sucked. I graduated 06/09/07 and was married and living with my DH on 07/07/07. I was 18 and my DH was 21. My husband bought our first house 3 months before we were married. I went to community college which we paid for. Now happily married 4.5 years.. Have a 2 yr old son and currently TTC#2. We just closed on our 2nd home in June of this year. Life is good!
