Live with my dad because I got into so much trouble for living on my own. I hate it, I wish I could live with my mom. My mom has problems too but I get along with her better than my dad. My dad has done a lot for me even though he REALLY ANNOYS me. What option do I have? There's no public buses around my area. If I was placed in another location, the options that've been given to me are miles away from my family and close friends. I would FREAK OUT. :pale:

I live next door to my parents which is a bit better than having to live with them but I am still in allot of ways dependent on them. It isn't that I have no plans to leave but I have no immediate options or workable solutions at this point.

Living with the mother, it's extremely stressing. I can't live together with people or else I have regular meltdowns and constant overloads, snap at everybody and hate the company.

I'm totally looking forward to living all alone. But I'm going to visit my mother often I guess, I really like visiting people, I can do this every day if I must, but I just don't want to live together with anyone.

im only living with my mom for a month more than on april 1st i'll be livng on my own, naturally i hate living with my mom because she doesnt know how to function like a normal adult and gets wierder every day. what am i going to do? i'll probably live in a cheap hotel until it gets above 32 degress at nite, then i'll call under a tree my home until i can save up my ssdi checks and move somewhere warmer, preferably st. lucia. if thats not possible i'll find somewhere in the carrebian to call my home

I live with my mother and step-father. I get along well with both. I feel no restriction living there and I have all the freedom I could possibly want. Besides, I'm too stingy to get my own place and pay for rent. I already pay enough of my own bills without having to give my money away to a landlord or the like. I am a penny pincher, just like my daddy was. :lol:

I am still living with my Dad and most of the time I really like it.
Living here is VERY expensive which is one reason I am still here. My dad has health issues so I am happy to help support him. Damo loves his Poppa and since his father isn't around Poppa provides a male role model for him. I am able to get a break from time to time and to be really honest if I was living alone I really don't think I could cope with Damo.

Still living at home in my early 30s. The cost of getting a place on my own is one reason, but sometimes I think I use that as an excuse; because I know that if I got a house of my own, I would spend all my time on my own. Now, a large part of me would like that a lot, and even at home I effectively spend most of my time alone. But when I think about being truely alone all the time (outside of going to work) it actually scares me a bit that I'd go slightly bonkers...I rant away to myself enough already!
I can't actually imagine moving out and being on my own in a different house..I've lived in the same house all my life.

I can relate. I had my own apartment a year ago and I was often alone unless I went to a pub. I don't think in terms of planning for socializing and since I didn't plan, I was in the apartment alone. At the house, I have lots of projects to keep me occupied that I didn't have in an apartment. Yeah, and I'm 43.

Well, I have lived independently, and I do plan to again, but one of the conditions on my getting to see a psychologist was that I had to stay living in this area until I was happy to finish seeing this person. Also, I just don't feel *quite* ready yet. I told the psychologist I wanted to move back to London in about a years time - thats my current goal.

I think that, being realistic, much as I'd like to live in one of the cool parts of east or north london, its going to have to be boring old south west london, so I can get on a train and see my family in forty-five minutes. I think if I work out some good strategies for myself it'll work out this time - I can use my experience of everything going wrong and turn it around.
