Bad parents might have had an influence, but I had decent parents, and I still moved to the other side of the planet at 20. Do you think you would you have been happy, staying put? 'Cause me, I wouldn't do anything differently (well, a few things, but not related to my moving around).

I have no desire to stay where I am personally, just a waiting game to pool together enough money to make job hunting elsewhere... viable. Cars paid off next year, that's probably when I'll start seriously looking

I loved my parents, but once I was on my own I was happy to live a few hours drive away.
