On a side note, while I wasn't shown the door at 18, I left for good at 19. I demanded that I live my life my way on my terms. That was the way it was going to be. That's how I live my life today as well in my 30's although I'm a lot less wild today. That also wasn't going to happen under Ma and Pa's roof. I left. I also didn't sue my parents either as that's a bridge that I wasn't going to burn.
