My story is much like yours. I escaped by getting in so much trouble, they sent me to a boys home when I was 14. I was eventually kicked out of the group home for GTA. When I returned home, things were different & so was I. He wanted to be my buddy & bought me a bong for my 16th Bday. He threw me out of the house soon after & that's when I dropped out of school & started working full time.
When I got sober, I took a hard look at my childhood. I spoke with my sister about the abuse & determined he had no place in my life largely for what he did to her. I haven't seen or spoken to him in over 20 years & he lives 10 miles away. He will never meet his grandson & I very rarely think about him.
