0:00.0 | When was your last? I've got to get the hell out of here moment. It was years ago when I was in |
0:06.7 | fourth grade. My parents used to get into fights all the time, especially when my dad was drinking. |
0:12.2 | They'd start yelling and that would turn into actual fistfights. At this time, we were living in a |
0:16.7 | small trailer, and the room I shared with all three of my siblings was the one at the end of the |
0:20.9 | trailer, near the back door. So my dad comes home drunk, mum is angry, and starts yelling, |

1:20.0 | she was scared and wanted help, and didn't know who else to call for. I felt so bad because I |
1:25.2 | didn't help her, but there's really not much I could have done. |
1:28.6 | I worked in a factory that made large plastic items via filling moulds with powder and sending |
1:33.7 | into a giant industrial oven that turned to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. At the end of the week, |
