Up until I was seventeen, it was easier to stay home and risk being beaten once in a while than face being a runaway. Then, when I was seventeen, I couldn't take it any more and hit back for the first time. I pushed my mother away from me so hard that she hit the wall with her head and was knocked out. I saw my chance and ran.

I did feel the need to be out of the house a lot for a time, when my parents' marriage was tanking rather spectacularly, but I never considered running away. That's where my cat was.
And the time I thought I was running away as an adult, it turned out I was just standing my ground. |

^That counts as running to. I'm really grateful to her for being there for you, and to you for being there for her.
If you ever write a memoir, you should let us know. So here's the question of the day, for Sunday the 20th: If you wrote a memoir of your life or some part of it, what would the title be? |
