People who have run away from their families only to return later, what made you come back?

Well I was 5 and my friend's dad drove me home

I'm guessing he did everyone a favour there, heh

Lol, yes he was surprised by the police and search parties 😅

I left because my family was abusive to me.

I ended up in an abusive marriage. (After several abusive relationships.) It was so bad that I thought that abuse was just normal and that my family wasn't so bad. So I came back.

After leaving my abusive spouse, I left the family again. (Until the patriarch of the family died.)

Life is much better with all that behind me.

Glad to hear you're in a better place. It does indeed take a while to know what is normal and what isn't

A girl.

What happened

A whole lotta chaos over the next four or five years ending in a messy divorce. Nothing about it was healthy. And yet, somehow I think I was actually on a worse trajectory before this.
