Your parents

Post Reply New Topic

Were/are they more concerned with getting you out of the house than getting you on your feet?

Yes, ugh.

Yes

No, I was more concerned with getting out of there! My mother should have applied for dictatorial position, I'm sure she would have won unanimously.

I was gone for a month before they noticed I had moved out.

I had the desire to move out shortly before turning 19, so I did. I would probably have moved out before if I had the means, given how I was back then.

I still live at home and there is nothing about them wanting me to move out of the house.

Yeah, we were always fighting...my parents just didn't like me. Mom wanted me out of the house when I was 14 years old. I guess she was bluffing when she said she would get me my own apartment, because it didn't happen. After I turned 18, they wanted me to stay. Just because they wanted a trustworthy caretaker of the house when they weren't there, of course, I wasn't supposed to touch anything when they weren't home. I shoulda moved out when I was 14 though. I think I would have been better off by myself. I would have learned how to do things to survive sooner.

I never learned any life skills while living at home. I wasn't allowed in the kitchen, because mom didn't like me touching "her stuff." So yeah, neither of my parents went out of their way to teach me how to survive...they just wanted me gone.

For me, neither. I currently live with my mom and she isn't on my case for me to leave. But I also feel like my parents never taught me the skills for independence that I needed. Maybe part of it is because my parents have some autistic traits themselves. Dunno.
