i really do envy you in some sense. you're already - for the most part - able to look passed the problem (your father) and focus more on improving your life both mentally and physically.

for others it's really difficult though, especially those who are still with that abusive person.

I've been getting numerous responses to this "take yourself out of the situation" etc. and so on, but it's more difficult than that.

I'm not an adult, I can't just so easily choose to leave and ignore that person or even talk to someone offline about him.

I'm rambling lol... my point is, I'm envious of you, warrior!
