I moved out when I was 17 (I just had graduated from HS) and was staying with couple of friends and just turned 18 right before enrolling at Gallaudet in the fall. I've been basically on my own ever since and during the separation from my ex husband, I had to move back in with my mother for 6 months to get back on my feet. As much as I love my mom, I cannot stand to be under the same roof with her for a while. Now things are looking for the better.
