18, when I moved into the dorms for college.

I visited for Holiday breaks and for summer internships but I never officially moved back in again.

Best thing that could have happened to my relationship with my parents.

I was 18 and moved in with a guy(now my master) that i knew from the internet.

I agree with Dangerousdiva, moving out helped my parents and i so much.

Moved out of my family home at age 14 but that was to go to a fancy college prep boarding school I'd won a scholarship to attend. Loved the freedom and wanted more so I moved into my first apartment with roommates at age 16.

My parents cool with it though because I was very mature and responsible for my age, had finished high school early and had a job. Plus they came to visit quite alot so I wasn't completely out of their grasp.

My first place of my own was at age 18. It was a rental though. I didn't own a home of my own until I was nearly 22.

not til i was 20. i'd always thought it was better to stay home and save money. then some stuff happened, and i was broke. i also couldn't stand living with my mom or in her home, but i just didn't consider moving. then my mom went on a trip and i had to stay home to watch the cats. and i loved being on my own and responsible for taking care of things.

as soon as she got back, i told her i needed to move out. she and my grandma helped me with the money. it was so nice of them! i'd stripped before, but i'd been secretive about it, so i didn't do it often enough to call it my job.

as soon as i was on my own, i realized i should've done it sooner, like back when i was 18 and somehow had 7 grand in the bank.

I moved out of my home in the UK when I started college at 18, and I couldn't get away from my (abusive) parents fast enough! Then at 19 I decided it wasn't far enough, so I upped and moved to the USA. Something about having an ocean in the middle makes me feel hella safer!! ;D

When I was 19 I moved out and share rent with my sister.

When I was 18 my sister died and the whole family dynamic changed. I was then told that I was a bad influence for my then-9 year old brother (17 now) so I should find somewhere else to live. Obviously this was said by my mom. We get along a ton better these days but then again, she takes her meds these days.

I moved out when I was 17, 2 weeks after I graduated high school.

I moved in with 2 of my siblings into my aunt's house in another state for college. 7 people in one house = hate.

Then, 2 years later I got my first apartment with a roommate.

I moved out like a month after I turned 18 and I had started stripping on my 18th bday so I could afford it. I've moved back in with my father a couple times but I would do anything to not have to do that again!

I was 18(almost 19) when I started college and moved into the dorms. Technically this was "moving out" in the sense that I was living away from my family, I had more freedom to live as I wanted, and dorms cost money just like apartments(if anything, my dorm was WAY more expensive than even an upscale apartment! that's greedy private colleges for ya). However, I do not know if dorms count as true "moving out" because although you pay for it + you live away from home, most colleges do not let you reside in the dorms year round...which means that eventually you will have to move back home at least for winter and summer breaks. That's what I was stuck doing.

As far as non-college housing is provided, my parents first kicked me out when I was 19 and then again right after college ended when I was 21. (they weren't very understanding in the least, and couldn't fathom why I couldn't afford to stay away from home while living on the "huge" wages of my $7/hr part-time job ::)) To be honest, I was not yet financially stable enough to afford my own place (this was pre-dancing), so I was stuck staying with friends and sometimes even guilt-tripping my friends into letting me stay with them because I knew that I had no other choice. But hey, that's what gave me the final push to start dancing...

I was 19. After I graduated high school, me and my family moved to Italy when my dad got orders to Aviano, a small Air Force Base just 45 minutes away from Venice. I met my ex-husband there 7 months later, and moved in with him when we got engaged. I was bagging groceries at the time I met him and had managed to save a couple grand. After we got married, I snagged a Government job doing Airport security on the base. I was making more money than him, HAH!

I moved in with my best friend and it's only been about a year and half now, but I'm so happy!

I was 15. My parents split up and they could've handled the whole thing a little better I think :) But meh, at that point it was crushing my soul so I got out of there. I lucked my way into the home of a crazy... yet wise lady who taught me some incredibly valuable things. Also dropped out of highschool... but I spent a few years working through some intense studies at the school of life.

Damn, I had no idea so many of us had such crummy home lives as teens....

Moved out at 18 (with boyfriend) but stayed in the area to help my siblings...Still returned to home area up until my mid-twenties to finally force my mother into institutionalization.

I was 18 and moved in with my boyfriend of 1.5 years at the time. We lasted 2.5 more years and then went our separate ways when I was 21.

To the outsider, this thread will only reinforce the stereotype that strippers come from dysfunctional homes...


But in reality, a LOT of people in all types of jobs came from dysfunctional or unhappy homes.

True dat. My best friend from grade school had it worse than me but refused to consider stripping- she lived on the streets and was attacked a few times, shacked up with a loser drug dealer..... :( I begged her to work with me.....She just wouldn't do it. Stripping is not the "worst" that can happen to a person from a dysfunctional background.

I actually prefer to socialize with people who came from backgrounds like mine...we "understand" eachother.

I think I was around 22 and my Mother sold the house and told me she was moving in with my sister for a little while and I couldn't come. So I ended up moving in with my boyfriend at the time and his family. It was actually pretty cool. She cooked for me every night and treated me like one of the family. I was working with his Uncle who sold used appliances and I was his sales help.
