the scene: your house
the actors: Your Dad, Mum, maybe a few sisters/brothers and you
the time: somewhere about the time you get home from school everyday, until the Dad/Mum gets drunk the next morning
The Issue: your family sucks & you need to get out
How many times has this scenario happened across America? The U.K.? You go to school & earn good grades, keep your nose clean (Bully reference LOL) and generally don't make your parents want to kill you. But still, their antagonism greets you every day you get home. Seeing that your Dad is either _A: a womanizing piece of human FILTH, B: a metrosexual/bisexual freak who's a tool of some megacorporation or C: a drunk, drug-using SOD that aught to be hung by his sex organs_ you decide that as a son, you can't take it anymore. You spend your idle time either involved in sports, reading, or a member of the local computer club. Anything to stay out of the house. Anything to give your parents a reason to see you are "busy". As long as you are busy, they don't mess with you. To say that you are estranged from these people you call your parents is a huge understatement. Your only real goal in life is to save enough money have high school & G.T.F.O. as soon as possible.
But one day, all that changes.
You come home and find your Dad either A: messing around with another woman while Mum works, B: messing around with some "guy friend" (LOL yeahhhh riiight) in the garage at the weight lifting equipment or C: drunk off his damn arse & laying his fists into your quiet & decent mother. You're 17 years old, you've lived in a war zone for over 10 years and you are damn well NOT going to take it anymore!
So what do you do???
