is that still happening?

maybe decades ago (2-3 generations ago at least) I can see it but today? i find it unlikely 18 year olds are getting kicked out simply because theres more empathy in families these days.
just saying...
if an 18 year old is kicked out its likely because theres no compromise to what that 18 year old is doing. neither the parent(s) or the child can afford the time and money to live the current lifestyle theyve choosen. so, the attitudes towards dealing with this is very confrontational.
this results in my way or the highway approach to solve this issue. maybe these children do it to hurt their parents, to show they failed at raising them.
we can also say that children hate their parents if we use the premise of the OP parents hating their children enough to push them out of the home. the lack of parental guidance and care is often pointed out. this draws the fear of the unknown. thus, it's easier to hate than to communicate their issues. these show how both sides are not compromising their concerns together and have set extreme expectations neither side can do.
