DC Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Did you ever run away from home when you couldn't stand being around your parents anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Nope. I had the odd fleeting thought about it, but I never gave it serious consideration, since I knew I had nowhere to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Yes. With two abusive parents, I had no choice. I was hoping I would be found and placed with a foster family or something. But when I was found, I was sent right back to them. That was just one more in a lifetime of beatings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Nope - I have though about it once or twice but it never made much sense because it wouldn't have solved anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it will take you away from abusive parents who literally beat you every day, it can actually solve a lot. It can also potentially save lives from suicide attempts. I can't tell you how many times I tried to commit suicide. Not that anyone would have cared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking in my specific case - I'm aware your circumstances were vastly different from mine. The Blackangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryAR Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Yes, I ran away from home once when I was a kid, but I think I returned before my mother and father even got back from work. I was so mucked up mentally speaking and was going through so many emotions and trauma as a young teenager, I just wanted it to all end and I suppose I thought running away was the best way to go about doing that. I would have been even more miserable if I actually ran away and didn't come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I remember in my teens, there were a few times I ran away from home and it was usually due to an argument with my parents about something silly and it just got too much so I ended up running away from home and staying somewhere else for a while until everything calmed down. Sometimes you do feel as though running away is the better option for you but a lot of the time, staying and working it all out is usually the best option.

Debashis Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Never. I just listen from one ear, remove from other ear. I ultimately do what I feel is right. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
