Eddie was only 12 when he ran away From his dads house after his mum died then his dad was hitting Eddie and beating him up saying it was Eddie's fault she died
You were only 8 years old when your mother left you and father. Ever since that day, it has been a living hell, your father would get drunk most nights and get very violent. He would 'punish' (he would whip and beat you) you if you didn't do the chores or anything else he asked. You are now 17 and the only thing that gives you any happiness or hope are the many to few holidays during the year.
