Tom and Draco speak the truth. I moved out when I was 18. I had brief stints living back with my parents. A few weeks when I was waiting for my house to be moved into when I was 25. The latest was for 6 months when I lost my (different) house, was pretty much broke paying for lawyer fees fighting my son's mother to be able to see him, and had nowhere else to go. That was 2 years ago, when I was 35. My second priority, aside from getting joint custody of my son, was to get back out on my own.p
