I ended up running away for about 2 weeks because my mom decided to put her hands on me again.I now live with my dad in a 3 bedroom trailer in Garden City. I love him to death, even though he drinks a case a night and smokes at least 2 packs of cigarettes a day. He only makes like $9.25 an hour. At the end of every 2 weeks we get about $600 and most goes to gas, food, and bills. My dad tries his best, but sometimes the best never works.
