People without a family, how are you faring in life?
People without a family, how are you faring in life?
Without a family as in fully on your own since legal age, be it kicked out / had to leave at 18 or from a foster background, or from an orphanage.

I've been homeless multiple times, thankfully never rough sleeping yet. Employers have always been an issue because the system is built around the idea of you living with the family or being able to go back to them if you fall on tough times: without that, any form of thriving is more frequently than not out of reach.
I had to move countries multiple times purely out of necessity due to the housing crisis engulfing possibly everywhere, but you can try to hop around, it worked out temporarily for me, but the alienation due to friendship loss and language barriers are soul crushing.
I am currently going back to a country where I speak the language of, even though it's near guaranteed I will be homeless rough sleeping there (I moved countries to avoid it, but I cannot take living where I ended up).
People like me I knew growing up ended up with severe mental issues. Some resort to sex work, some are on government money. Some aren't with us any more...
I was unable to finish my degree due to not being able to afford rent + food, on top of that not even having the time to learn due to shifts, many scheduled during my lecture hours in spite of getting hired for my student status for tax purposes.
i love that you asked an interesting question and also answered it yourself. what area are you moving to?
Due to how unique my life is I prefer to keep information private not to get identified. My apologies.
