As a guy who did this EXACT thing as a kid, thank you. Just like the guy that taught me, you gave me the skills and means to live where my parents weren't physically and emotionally abusing me. I left the house at 15, and lived in the forests of New Hampshire until I turned 17, and then joined the Navy right before my birthday so that I could turn 18 in boot camp. Those two years of my life were difficult, but I WOULD have killed myself if I had to live with my parents during that time. She thanks you, and will never forget you.
