"But that feeling can be taken back when you don’t have mommy or daddy to pay your first noise complaint or to pay bills in general."

That was my son's wake up call. And since I forced him to wake up, I helped him out. A little. To this day he thanks me for telling him to leave because he didn't want to follow some simple rules at my house. He went out against my rule and I told him to give me the key and don't come back.

He tried later that night.

I had everything locked up. He slept in the car his dad gave him. The next day we started the apartment hunt.
