Unfortunately it does seem that way. Always someone wanting to take advantage of a situation.
I have days I miss the safety, or at least what I had thought was safety at the time. I miss being with my brother and I miss my father. However a lot of it is hard to look back on, knowing what I do now. I do not miss my mother's over caution with me, nor do I miss her instance that no one in Rosaria, even my own brother, was "good enough" for me to socialize.
