Hey. So I’m 18 years old. I’ve been out on my own for about 7 months now. I’ve been living in Santa Clarita while my mom lives in the valley. If you’re not from California. It’s about 25-30 minutes away from each other. I got kicked out a couple of days after my 18th birthday. My mom and I had a huge fight. She got mad because I didn’t clean my room fast enough. Escalated really quickly. She ended up hitting me leaving me with a bruise on my eye. This was the first time she ever got so mad. So it’s not like it’s a habit of hers. love my mom so much. She had me and my twin sister at 19. She struggled so much to give my sister and I a better life than she had. She never had us feel like we gone without. My sister still lives at home. They have their problems but mostly because she’s been trying to be so independent without realizing she needs to listen to the few rules my mom has for her. So back to my story. My moms been asking me to move back ever since I haven’t been living there. My thing is I don’t want to move back and have so many problems and get kicked out again. It’s difficult because Ive moved to Santa Clarita because the only place I had to stay was my old coworkers house and she lived there. My boyfriend lived there. I went to school there. So I decided to stay when I got my own place. Now Im not with my boyfriend. So one less reason to stay here. But I have two jobs here and school. I can always transfer but I don’t know. I’m actually contemplating it. I’ve been missing my family a lot. I love my family. My mom, stepdad, twin sister, and 4 year old sister. I miss not hearing them when I’m trying to sleep and borrowing my sisters clothes and not seeing my little sister grow up. I do love being independent and pride myself on being able to live on my own. I just don’t know tbh.
