I have friends who kids left home on the day of there 18th birthday or not long after. The kids reason where there mum was not nice and gave no freedom at all. Not aloud out etc. I think she was too hard on them. She did alow the kids to have friends over all the time so she could keep an eye on them. Other friends were in there 20's. I was 21 when I left home but my sis was close to 30.
How old were you and what reason??

I was 15 - and 20 years later my step-dad asked me how had it felt to be thrown out of the house I sat for a couple of seconds, thinking, and said to him, see? see how clever she is? I never ever realised thats what happened, cos I was so glad to be going

I escape form Mum because she trested my sis and I totally different, she would get heaps on money spent on her and me a couple of dollars. The day I left my dad was helpping me and when we finished dad asked why I had not told you mother you were leaving. I said to him I told her first as she was always mean to me and telling you lies about me. I felt for my dad really. It was not until 9 years later that mum and I got close and alot of that had to do with having kids. My only Pray with my kids is that I stay this close to them and when they leave it is not through fights.

I left one week shy of my 19th birthday to join the Air Force. However I left school at 17 and a half and went to America for a year on an OE.

21, the day I got married. I was and still am the old fashsioned sort. I didn't live with my husband until we got married even though we bought the house 3 months earlier.
My parents had a rule that we all had to leave home before we were 27. I didn't even find out about that until after I left.
My sis asked for and got an extention as she was engaged to her now husband with wedding date set. My bro managed to boomarang home again several times after he left, even after he got married. My parents are still scratching their heads about how he talked them into that.

Yep - all Nelson/Marlborough and then eventually down the sounds in the exact bay where my family history started in the first place... Funny how things work out!

16.5.
My mother gave me 3 months to find a flat, which meant I had to leave school as an education wasn't conductive to paying rent.
Like kiwi, it took the birth of my own kids to heal a lot of the rifts. Some will never heal, but her volatile depression I can at least accept, if not understand or condone.

I was 12. Well, I didn't exactly leave home, my father had died and as he and my mother were virtually separated, his farm was left to me and my brother. Mother was left on the bones of her arse, and did not contest the will.
We left my birthplace, Wellington, in 1945 and settled in the Mainland, where brother and I were sent off to boarding school (the equvalent to children's home?) which was paid through the estate. I guess I mentally left home then. I finally escaped from the parental influence at 17 and grew up at 35.
Where I am now is home, but Home with a capital H for me will always be the Wellington farm, and I weep when I visit it.
PS.. Mother supported herself and us (at holiday times) by doing home pottery, She would be horrified to see prices for her stuff selling now on Trademe, and one of her pieces fetched $960 at auction here in Dunedin last week.

I fled at 16. I would have escaped earlier if I thought I could have supported myself.

This job is a test . . . It is only a test . . . Had this been a real job . . . it would have come with raises, promotions and other signs of appreciation!!!

I left home at 14 , My mum had bi-polar , I was unable to study or think straight with her around ............My only option was getting out .
Now I can't ever see my kids leaving home , my oldest is 20 and is as comfy as pig in shit ...leaving home is great for developing independence , that is the only gift we as parents should learn to give our children

I used to think that - now they are so independent they never have a need to come home
