I'm just dropping by to say that I was really, truly, touched by your story. While I can't say that I've been through exactly the same circumstances, I can safely say that I do know how financial struggles plus an oppressive parent feels like.
It feels depressing when a PC member leaves. It feels amazing when someone returns after a full-five year's absence. Being the person I am, I couldn't help but take a look at the posts you made in your final days, and, in the context given, I was kind of heartbroken and how you managed to mask your feelings in that final post behind emoticons and informal words. It's inspirational, truly.
Regardless, I'm glad that you're back and that you're okay. I don't normally jump on the greeting bandwagon, but your's was an exception. I also don't know you very well, but still, there's nothing wrong with getting to know new people.
So yes, truly inspirational.
Also, it's too bad you didn't take politics. It truly is an amazing subject. History, I admit, is good too, I personally love it to bits, but I prefer politics.
