I lived on my own from the time I was 16 years old till the time I was 29. Of course some of the time I was living with my boyfriend, (but I supported him) sometimes I didn't have my own apartment but I rented a room from people from my church.
I now live back at home with my father and his wife, I think it is hard on him for me to be there, and I know they are awaiting my moving out now that I have the means to.
I am thinking of moving to South Carolina, the cost of living there is so much less then it is here, and the employment oppurtunities are amazing there as well, a little less pay but considering you can buy a decent home for 150,000 not a bad tradeoff.
There are a lot of things that the CF has to consider when moving out, like a back up plan for when they are to sick to take care of themsleves, who is going to help them get food, pick up presciptions etc.
THose are some of the things that concern me, also, when I am sick, my independence is thrown right out the window, I become high maintaince and I need a lot of emotional support.
All these things scare me about moving out, though I know I have to, as well as want to do it... Seems like I was less chicken when I was 16 then I am now..
