I left home at 15. My parents divorced, the house was sold and my brother and I went off to college, my sister went with mum. I did the course then moved to London, got married very young, got divorced very young (lol) and have been standing on my own two feet ever since. I often think I've done nothing with my life but actually I have. I've always worked and I've travelled the world with the money I earned. I've been lucky that property was affordable to rent and buy in my younger days so I now have somewhere to put roots down but it must be really hard for today's young people who want to leave home but can't.
