First message
I often dreamed of running away. Leaving this place forever. This house, these people, all of it. But I knew I would never let myself do that. I had three younger siblings. The youngest being 3 years old (Sean), then Travis (8), then Shannon (14). I was 18 and exhausted from all of it. As soon as work was over I always had the same schedule, go home as soon as I could so that my fathers drunk antics wouldn’t be towards Shannon or the kids. I had to protect them because no one else would.
