move out of moms house
I moved out of my moms house after graduating high school. I had wanted to move in with my dad for a while before then but had talked to my mom and decided not to until I had actually graduated. My mom and I didn't really get along very well while I was living with her. I feel as though I get along with her a lot better now that I don't live there. -
Move out of dads house into my own apartment
I just recently moved out of my parents house into an apartment with one of my bestfriends from high school. I honestly love living my myself and never really felt like an "adult" until I made the move.
