to be back living with your parents. I moved out when i was 16 (well i say moved it was more of a hard push) i was a bit of a little sh*te when i was younger. life was great i was out in the wilds fending for myself. so roll on 8 years an things have gone down the pan, split with the mrs, dont see my kid (the she devil moved to the other end of the country)) im currently unemployed after having a series of depression and now find mysef living back at home, pennyless and alone. so how olds is too old to be living at home before you end up being tha strange bloke from down the road

You can be 18 and be the strange bloke down the road.

Whatever works for you and is ok with your family.
Someone on my street has had an extension so their kids don't have to move out and they have more room. Cheaper than helping them buy a house or even renting somewhere round here.

Depends whether it's a temporary stay to regroup or a permanent arrangement.

I moved out at 18 til 22 then moved back to parents from 22 to just turned 27. Moved out month after 27th's birthday

Loads of people move home in their twenties after university or, like you, after an illness.

Real family and real friends are people who are there for you when you need them. If your parents are OK with you moving back, whether short term while you get back on your feet, or indeed longer term, then that's real family.
Nothing strange about it!

when my daughter is old enough to move out, i hope she feels that she can move back in with me any time she wants / needs.

i moved back to my parents 3 times. they didn't mind either. they helped me get through some difficult times and get back on my feet. maybe i was the strange bloke from down the road?

It depends whether you are at home due to circumstance (unemployment, saving for a house) or whether you just like living at home because your mother cleans the skids out of your undies and don't intend to ever move out. It's not necessarily age related.

Section 1 shows how much you have grown up in those 8 yrs, something you should be proud of and should give you the resources to get through your current bad times.

Section 2 is something you are finding hard to cope with currently, but I know a man who travels 330 miles round trip to see his son every other weekend - so tough it may seem but travel is possible no matter how far away. When you get a job again you will be able to book the cheap flights that co's like easyjet & ryanair offer to 'the other end of the country'.

Section 3 myself and sister where backwards and forwards to my Mum's house long into our 30's, inbetween houses, b/f's or jobs - the main thing was ours were always stop gap we never intended it to be long term. But I've worked with that strange bloke so take heart even he was employable!!

I'm not sure house renting & selling is your best forum for your problems but good luck with the future.

I moved out for uni at 19, came back at 22 and I'll be leaving again just shy of 25. If I needed to I know I could go home at anytime and be welcomed with open arms. If my parents or siblings needed my help they could expect the same from me.

I would question the wisdom of referring to your child's mother as a 'she-devil' and maybe there is a legal forum where you could get some help with your access issues.
