MyHappyShoe answered Monday August 20 2007, 12:16 pm: It breaks my heart when I hear people say they hate their parents, but you didn't ask for my opinion and you probably have a good reason to hate her. I think you should either stay with a close family member or friend until you get a job and make enough to support yourself in a small aparment. Or you and a few of your friends could share an apartment or a townhouse (a bit more expensive) and split the down payment, rent and all the other costs (maybe one week you could pay for groceries and the next your friend could and trade every other week). Those are pretty much the only choices you have besides living on the streets or in a shelter. Well, good luck with whatever you choose to do! Maybe one day you and your mom can work out the differences and become friends. Just make sure whatever you choose to do is safe, don't risk your life just because you don't get along with your mom! :) [ MyHappyShoe's advice column | Ask MyHappyShoe A Question ]

I moved out at 18 and in with two of my older brother's friends (who I also know). It was expensive, but it was a lot better than living at home for the month I spent with them. I'm back at home now (and have been for two weeks), but I'm moving out on Wednesday afternoon to Missouri for college. There's really nothing besides shelters if you don't have friends or relatives (hopefully better than your mother) you can stay with. In the meantime if you can't find anything before you go to college, try and spend as much time as possible outside the house. Jobs are good, activities are even better. If you need any advice about moving out, drop a message in my inbox. I did it. I'm doing it again and next December/May I'll be moving yet again temporarily/permanently (hopefully).

DearAbby92 answered Monday August 20 2007, 1:33 am: There aren't really a lot of places to stay besides shelters (which can be really unsafe), and why take up a bed where someone else who doesnt have a home could be using it. Do you have a job? Maybe you could get one, so A) your not as home as much, B) Your saving up for your own place so you can be away from your mother C) Your mother will respect you more if you start making your own income.
