I was a very daydreamy sort of child and when I hit my middle school years I would frequently fantasize about running away. I never actually walked out the door, but I definitely planned out my route in painstaking detail. I knew where I would live and how I'd manage to eat and what I'd pack.
However, I never actually packed or walked out the door
My family spanked, but was not (to my knowledge) abusive.
