I left home at 14 to attend a military school in another city. I came home from that school for about two years and went into the Navy. Although I have come home many times I have never lived at home again. I am almost 80 now and live alone. Both my parents are now gone.

Linda Joy I salute you (properly I might add! ;-) ) Thank you for your service! Where did you serve? -

You are welcome but I do not talk about my service as I am opposed to the military because they do not protect the USA but make big business richer. I served in the Pacific. That was in the 1950's -
Linda Joy Thank you

Do you feel that gave you a better start in life? Or do you think your independence was hindered by that?

I had never been away from home before I moved with just a few things 360 miles from home. I started working soon after in a body shop. Now my home is 22 miles south of there. Macon Mo >>>>> Moberly Mo.

I moved out at 17, into a grotty bedsit.

Well, I went to boarding school at 15 and then college. However, if you're counting from the time I stopped returning home for the summers, that would be when I finished my junior year in college and stayed in New England to work that summer rather than get a summer job at home. I was 20. I never went home for more than a visit of a week or so again. My children are adults and self-supporting. They began living on their own after graduating from college. They live halfway across the country from me and my husband.

Thank you for your service! -

There wasn't much thanks going on for us back in those days. The citizens hated us for getting drafted. -
Linda Joy
I know. I'm glad I didn't have to suffer that and wish you hadn't either. There was not much thanks when I was in either, but at least we weren't in a political mess like you were. Then again I didn't do it for the thanks, but I appreciate them when they come, especially for my fellow soldiers.

I left home at the age of 18 to take up the offer of a residential post and never returned home on a permanent basis - just at holidays times until I married and had my own family. None of my own children left home very early. One still lives at home at the age of 40.

I aged out of gov't subsidized housing at 18 as my mom was going from factory work for college to become a medical transcriptionist. I was nearly in the streets until a couple of different friends helped me out.

I left home at 19. I was offered a job 500 miles away & I took it. I was financially independent once I moved. I have NO children, so NONE have left home nor coming to me for a handout!!! 😍

The internet age, of the modern period of the anthropocene epoch of the cenozoic era. I went to college full time at 18, but did go back to live with my parents for a couple years after I finished my studies (I went to graduate school, but never finished my dissertation) before I found a job out of state - I was 25 by then.
