Thank you for sharing.
I haven't grown up in an area or situation that is close to what you have described, but I still feel a lot of anger at what has been going on. Getting a glimpse into what it was like for you (and the other person you mention), even though you put it into words, I can't imagine exactly what that must be like. Hope you can get something figured out to get away from all of it before things really hit the fan.
