I want you guys to understand that, while I had it far better than many, I also grew up into a totally broken home in adolescence, and experienced getting locked out of my own home, sleeping in the garage, and having to ask friends to stay at their place for awhile. I was orphaned at 15 and anything resembling parental monetary support was gone by 17, after which I was on my own. So this is sensitive to me, and for that reason I'm bowing out of comments.

I'm warning you all right now, you better mind your Ps and Qs about this one, because I am in earnest. And if you decide to cancel your subscription because I'm hard on you here, just do it, don't tell me, I don't give a shit.

Edit: actually do what you want, I'm gonna mute this thread out of a desire not to ban or insult people. Sometimes that's the best move.
