To me, living at your dorm and crashing at your parent’s house during breaks is pretty much living on your own with training wheels. It counts until you’re out of school.
For me it comes down to who is paying rent. If you’re working/ taking out loans, you’re on your own. If mom and dad are footing the bill for room and board, you’re kind of living at home with extra steps
Good point. I guess there’s a scale. I know I didn’t have any money to spend that wasn’t in my pocket, but there were others that may have well been at a resort.
Unless you count the dorm, yeah I do. It’s pretty normal to live with your parents.

You don’t know how non-independent you are until the separation anxiety sets in.
Yes, the separation anxiety is still a thing even if your parents are emotionally abusive.
The wonders of being trauma-bonded with your abusers lol.
