I lost both mine when I was 17
@SW-User So sorry to hear that. Mine did live into there 80s and had a good life.
SW-User
@nevergiveup thank you. My condolences to you as well. Mine were in their 40s.
@SW-User must have been very hard for you at that age. Who took you in and raised you
SW-User
@nevergiveup no one. I've been on my own since then.
@SW-User how did you manage at 17. Pm me if you want to talk
SW-User
@nevergiveup well they were killed in a car accident the week I graduated high school. The first year I barely remember. I had my first job but I didn't always go to work cuz I was so depressed and I didn't wanna stay in our house where we had all lived. I kinda drifted from one friends house to another.
@SW-User I left home when i was 16 and stayed at a friends place. We shared the bills and his mother lived next door so she kept an eye on us

@nevergiveup I was so dumb my parents hadn't prepared me to be an adult so I didn't have a clue about how to pay bills or nothing. The ladies from our church would come by and try to help me and brought food a lot.
@SW-User well that was something good then. Back when i was young school leaving age was 15. I had a job before i left and even left 2 months before time. I stayed at home until i was 16 and then they took my mother away to a mental hospital i took the opertunity to get out
