I've been on my own since I was 17 with no one to turn to. Being a bum on the street would have been unnaceptable to me. I chose to be successful.

My husband got thrown out when he was 17 for refusing to cut his hair. He had a car but little money, got into construction, went to community college and then a state university by working and taking out student loans, and at 44 is by all standards a success. No financial or emotional support from his family but he was determined.
