Living with the parents again...

Well, me and the old lady got into an argument (long story, but we lived with her parents). So I moved back in with my parents for the time being so that I can save some money and get everything back on track financially in my life. These last few years have been one roller coaster ride after another, but that's the way it goes. I just feel like I'm back in high school living with my parents. Even though I know it's just temporary, I still feel ridiculous.

I know me and the old lady will get back together, but I just can't live in someone else's house anymore. I didn't want to do it in the first place, but because of the circumstances around everything we didn't have much choice. I always felt like a damn burden and I hate not having my own place and everything that entails. I've supported myself for so long that it just made me feel pathetic to live with someone else that I was dating.

Anyway, I just needed to vent because I haven't been talking about it much the past couple of days and I know someone here can relate in some way

I know it's rough. I lived on my own since I was 19. When my ex and I split I moved in with a friend and he literally treated me like his bitch. And he throws it in my face to this day. I can relate bro. It was only 4 or 5 months and he tells the story like he saved my life. Focus on getting things in order. I think God puts hurtles in front of us and rewards us based on how we handle them. In my opinion there is always a reason.

I have been on my own since I was 17, I'm 34 now and I've never looked back. I'd rather be homeless than move back in with my mother.

I hope your situation improves.

I know it sucks. I moved out of the house when I was 15 and went back with my mom around 21. But you know, when I look back now it was what I needed, but it did suck being under someone else's roof and sometimes feeling like I had to tiptoe around. Things will get better, and it's not pathetic. Shit happens. Thank goodness you have a roof over your head for now and you will get back on your feet again. The way the economy is now I'm sure a lot of people are in your situation, hell if I keep blowing the cash I do on this competing shit I may have to call my mom!!! Keep your head up, this too shall pass.

I was there too when I got divorced- I hated it but am glad I was able to do it to get back on my feet...

We've lived with my parents several times, trying to get on our feet. I wish now that we'd stayed with them longer. It is a great financial help sometimes.

It's great to have the family support and all and I love that, but I just hate the feeling of not being self-sufficient. It makes me feel bad about myself, but I know that I have a good job so it's just a couple weeks until I get 2 paychecks to be able to afford something. It really wouldn't have been AS bad except for the fact that the engine blew in my car a couple of weeks ago so I have no car and no house/apt for the time being.
