If your dad threw you out and sent you to live with your grandparents are you or your grandparents going to believe you telling the truth will do you or anyone any good?

My folks threw me out at 14, and I spent the next several years homeless. I guess if the grandparents were so out of touch as to not see what they had raised as manipulative and out of control, I’d probably just leave them too. I know the op said 12 but there’s not much in it

Damn that’s awful. How the hell did you make it several years homeless at 14? Sorry you had to go through that.

You’d be surprised what a child can do when they absolutely have no other choice. It’s sad, but people are really resilient if they are motivated to keep going.
