Disclaimer #2:

I'm still alive and well, and he is long gone-out of my life. He did mess with my mentality quite a bit, but I have been living quite a few happy times. I've gotten accepted to an out of state university 2,000 miles away from home, and I'm proud to say I'm leaving the place where all of the bad memories are screaming around me!
