"I awoke to the sounds of my parents fighting in the living room. I knew this would not end well as it rarely did. This was my only chance to leave before they directed their anger onto me as they did on countless occasions.

I didn't own very many things because my parents didn't care about my wants and very little about my needs.

I wanted nothing more than to be free of the abuse my parents inflicted on me."
