The feedback is noted, I will try and be more supportive, and not cynical.
OP. I was kicked out of home at 13, and it was very had for most my life, so maybe I am a bit jealous you have a family home. I am sure if you really want to move out and be independent that you can take the steps and make it happen.

Maybe in the future you could take a moment before pressing the "submit" button and remember the context in which we are all interacting?
This is a site for mental health support. While it is nice to imagine we are all on a level playing field, all having the
exact same capabilities, experiences, and opportunities... It's not so.
We all have different deficits and assets. The fact that a person is living at ho.e, at whatever age, says absolutely zero about their strength of character, intelligence, personal motivation, or even in a lot of cases their sense of personal responsibility or individual ability to be independent... sometimes things just happen.
When you are crazy- and often mental health issues are accompanied by a myriad of social, financial and other physical health issues-
sometimes it just doesn't seem to stop raining once it starts…
So you may find yourself at 27, even, as I did, still living at home.
Or at 31, as I do, with an unfinished degree after working toward it for about a decade.
I'm not trying to be overly harsh myself, or really "stick it to you", but things happen.
It doesn't make me or you or anyone else a lesser person.
Just sayin'.
