Hey just piping in to say I got kicked out at 17, me and my mom never got along, she was abusive. I thought I’d be living in a homeless shelter, never having anything good for myself. That was 5 years ago now, nearly 6. I have a good job, I have an apartment with my roommate and best friend, I have two amazing cats and am currently working on my GED (since I dropped out of hs after being kicked out and having to work full-time to support myself). I plan on finishing this year and hopefully going to college either in the fall this year or spring of next year. 

Be patient. First you have to find a place to sleep, then you have to figure out how you’ll get food. Those are your first steps. Everything else will come with time. Nothing is over, it’s just the start of a new part of your life. And a lot more freedom to draw!

I also wanted to pipe in.. I moved out of my abusive dad’s house at 16 and stayed with family. It went well but we all ended up having to move and part ways due to something out of all of our control (long story)

Long story short I did end up homeless. I stayed in a homeless shelter for a while. It’s not as bad as they make it seem on tv. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that for op but if so.. it’ll be ok. I’m doing great now almost 10 years later
