It was tough to leave home, leave Mamma and go to school.
Don’t worry sweetie, Mamma promised, it’s just for a few hours.

Don’t worry, you’ll be home for the vacations.

Ignore him. You have full legal rights…
I don’t like staying where I’m not wanted.
You can’t live alone!
But…
What would people say?
But…
Just grit your teeth and hang on. I did.
