I fantasized about living alone in a tree or cave with a cat and dog as a young child (we had no long lasting pets until much later on). I also thought my real parents would come get me but that it would not be any better. It worried me a lot that one day someone else would come to claim me and I would have to figure new ones out and figure out how to protect my brother too. Would he get left behind and then I could not protect him but if he came along and I did not know what the new ones would do to him, I could not protect him that way either. It was a troubling thought.
