I moved out at 18 as well, was back briefly for a week when I dropped out of college. 10 years ago I moved my wife and kids back to my hometown and we lived with my parents for 6 months while we found our own place.
My mom moved out a couple years ago, and I am about to move back in with my dad to take care of him. I have an RV parked next to his house. If my mother was still living with my dad I would never consider it.
I am only a few years younger than Wesley was in TNG. He was someone with whom I could identify. I never got the Wesley hate, and if it was not for the internet I would not know there was any.
