Dreamed , Fantasized tearfully of running far away but my little Brother would never come with me and I couldn't leave him in that house alone , would never of been able to Live with myself.
So I just Learned to Fight back
I've got one Hell of a Right hook , thanks to my Dad who trained me for years.
I could knock him on his ass when I was 15 .and I did several times but in the end I just reversed the roles and told him what he had been saying to me since I was a Girl.
"I will Kill you if you ever touch me again"
I think he was rightfully Scared of me and took my words very seriously
Yes, every time I was in trouble with my mother, I was scared of her more than my dad, but I never wanted to disappoint my dad, but me & mom didn't come to an understanding, still not, to this day, 5 decades later, she's a little old lady now, and if I wasn't married, I would want to run away again.

Wisest move he ever made.
I had the best parents any kid could wish for; why would I run away?
But I always chickened out.
