I don't know much about your home situation. Is it abusive or really bad? You know what, sometimes you just live where you can. Our society puts too much pressure on individual family homes. Life doesn't work like that for everyone...

Look at me... I live in a house owned by my dad for reduced rent due to being low income. And now my mother-in-law lives with me. Do you know how many people judge me on those things? But you know what? I go to work every day, I feed my kids, we've got a roof and warm bed to sleep in.... so it isn't the picture perfect "American dream" BS... That doesn't mean failure.

Unless your living situation is bad, then those people can mind their own business.
