Nowadays, it is standard practice in many parts of the world for parents to move their children away after they reach the age of 18. It is good for parents to raise their children to be independent and self-sufficient, but this cannot be accomplished by kicking them out of their homes. Their children require their assistance and support till they secure a good job and a place to reside.
At the age of 18, OP was kicked out of their parent’s home and forced to live in a car since he was unemployed. OP struggled to get work because he didn’t have enough money to live on. On Father’s Day, OP’s family was invited to his grandmother’s house, but OP declined. First, his parents recently pushed him out of the house, leaving him to struggle on the streets, and second, he didn’t have enough money to fill the gas tank in his car to drive to his grandmother’s house. Read the complete story to learn about the OP’s dilemma, and then offer your thoughts in the comments area below.
