I've lived away from home for a year with my boyfriend but I had to come back home for my mum's medical conditions. I'm now commuting 2 hours so I can look after her and my younger sister. I was capable of living away again this year but unfortunately she fell ill again. I like to live on my own but there are several things for anyone who wishes to live away to think about. Being independent is a big challenge and sometimes a lot of stress at the start. Once you get into the swing of things, though, you'll be fine and dandy. Most of the time living away is circumstantial so don't feel disheartened if you have to go back or need to rely on your parents.
