Kudos to many who have posted here.
I left my home at 18yrs to move into my own apartment. Prior to that, I was a homemaker and student(as my mother died very young). I had an 18 month old baby brother to raise, 4 brothers and a sister to shop for, iron clothes for and manage. I realised I needed my independence, though continued to look after my father after moving into my own apartment. I was engaged at that time to a Navy man.
I have lived independently ever since, raising 3 children and working 6 days a week to pay my way through University and a pretty amazing career. I learned to never depend on anyone else for anything.
Huge thumbs up, Jules!
