    My dad moved a lot actually. He lived all over the country. He moved to be close to his parents (my grandparents) who helped raise me.

    I’m sorry you experienced the hardships you did. Are you saying you’d rather do a 10 year prison sentence in Norway instead of the poverty you experienced on the street? That’s pretty unfathomable to me.

    Anyway, I never said anything about it being “free and easy.” Life is hard. But being in prison is neither free nor easy, even in a fancy Norwegian prison.

      Yea I would have rather been in prison. There is food and medical care in prison. Poverty kills. I was also lucky enough to have an awesome grandmother to prevent the worse :). Also I want to say that I would never start a ‘who has it worse’ competition, but I thought my experience could be valuable to my point. I’m glad that you made it out and are doing good now, cheers.
