I have lived alone for 10 years since the death of my mother. I wasn't allowed to leave home and was still living there when I was 45. I was little more than an unpaid slave.
Did you live with her until you were 45 by choice or you had no other options?
I didn't have the best home life growing up.
Me neither, my childhood was rough! I survived it and became a better person for it!
When my mom had me move in with my grandparents. My grandfather became my life coach. He helped me get a job and to start being responsible and taking accountability. My grandfather taught me a lot. Aside from the hard moments, It's been a good run so far. Once I got my own place, I didn't want to ever live with my parents again. You get a lot of freedoms when you don't live under someone.
Glad that your grandparents were there for you and helped you gain independence.
