At What Age Did You Leave Home And Why?

I was 23 when l left home and it was to get married!

My sisters and l, were very close and went everywhere together, so it was a huge wrench when l left home to live in my new house with my husband.

Can you remember the age that you left home and was there any specific reason as to why?

Got married in 1972 and also bought a house when I was only 25 years old. Shutting the front door on our very own house for the first time is something I have never forgotten

I was 23 as well. I joined the Royal Air Force.
The best decision I ever made and I wish I had stayed longer.

Married in 1972 at the age of 23 and moved into a top floor flat after returning from our honeymoon, two nights in a posh hotel. Although we paid a months rent we moved out after two weeks, it was the pits. Our second flat was over a chemist shop and very spacious. In 1973 at the age of 24 we moved into our bungalow that had just been built....Been there ever since.....

Re: At What Age Did You Leave Home And Why?

I left home at 19 to emigrate to Australia for a couple of years as a £10 pom. I had just finished my 'apprenticeship' as a GPO Telephones 'Youth in Training' and decided I needed some adventures. I never lived with my parents again.

Never intended to stay in Australia and came back in 1968 to live in London (Finsbury Park and Brixton).

Left home as soon as I turned 16, if I hadn't gotten away from my mother I'd have done jail time.
