Hello everyone,

I had moved out for two months and had my taste of freedom, but due to unforunate circumstances I am back at home with Mom and Dad. The housing market is at an all time low where I live, and it's near impossible to find any place to live or find a place that is affordable. I've had my hopes up a couple times in the past two weeks on possible places, but I've had no luck.

So now my parents say, settle into your new job, save up money, and don't drive yourself nuts trying to find a place right away.

But I don't want to live here. I was finally starting to have a healthy relationship with my parents while living on my own, and now I'm back to being viewed a dependent child. They were starting to see me as a true adult while living on my own, now it's back to making decisions for me and treating me like a child.

So how do I stay independent while living at home and be viewed as an adult?
