i never ran away as a kid.. guess i didn't really have to. my parents were the runaways.. moved us 6 kids from city to city, state to state ever couple of months. i went to 11 different schools in 6 different states before i was in 3rd grade. now that i'm an adult (almost 27) and have 3 kids of my own...i'm a runaway the same as my parents. my son is 8 and has been enrolled in 4 schools in 2 states, 4 cities. i see the pattern, i understand the "whys" of it, just wish i could confront my fears instead of jumping ship. twice i've put us in the car with little $, leaving EVERYTHING we own behind to go - where? away.

does this count?
