I am 25 and I live in my own apartment, but its subsidized and I'll probably never be able to afford anything not subsidized. I lived with my parents until I was 20 but left because my older brother was physically abusive and I wasn't getting the support I needed. I left and went between friends houses for about two weeks and than became homeless on the streets, lived in a group home I met up with and they threw me out after about four months into it. Became homeless on the streets again but snuck into my parents house a few times without my brother knowing. Also slept on their property without any of them knowing. Got off the streets in a homeless shelter but got thrown out and arrested. Got out and was homeless for about two days before my apartment moved me in.
I look back on that and I wonder how I am alive, not only did I do all that but I did it while holding down a job.
