2. When I was 18 I left home in the middle of supper,

my father had gone upstairs and I knew that when he came down he was going to hit me again. Never went back.
If I was in a corner, trapped, and had a gun, I would have used it.
I have heard, also, that it is very hard to get much help if the abuser is a policeman.
