[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Effectively kicked out at 18. I fortunately had enough money from scholarships and my mom’s life insurance that college was doable with minimal work study and a few loans. I did go home a few times for Christmas but otherwise stayed with my sister and friends during breaks. I was travelling for most of the summers during college, funded by scholarships or teaching English. First couple of years out of college I supported myself fine with various jobs and low COL lifestyle (roommates etc). When I needed to get on my feet after college I stayed with my aunt a few months while I took the train into the city to temp as I looked for my first “real” job. A few years of that then a full ride to law school, and have been comfortably supporting myself ever since.

I’m glad you were able to succeed. I’m fascinated that your father and stepmother ask you for money. Can you say more about that? What do they actually say to you? Is there any acknowledgment whatsoever from them that they did not support you and completely left you to fend for yourself?[/quote]
