Don't sweat it my friend. There's no shame in your situation at all. Just have a plan for the future, be confident in it, and see it through. I'm 26 and just had to move back in with mom myself about 8 months ago (got married/divorced too young, ran up a lot of debt). I ask my friends the same question and I find that no one criticizes my decision more than I do. I really want to get back out on my own, but I've accepted that there are things I have to do before that can happen, and I'm ok in the meantime. Once I get my head/finances together I'm going back to school for my MS and I'm planning on being out of the house and out of debt by 30, and with a marketable degree this time! Hang in there!
