inside themselves while smiling for the cameras for a very long time. Did the littler kids know? They do now. Severing your entire upbringing, social place, cultural imprinting is nigh impossible. As the poster states...where to go? They are "famous" which is now a curse.

Maybe some kind Arkansas soul would put out a halfway house for them to rest and recouperate in, while trying to find a different path. That's all I can think of. I had a sister I could go live with, which saved me. But you don't just "take the kids and leave". Easy to say, but the father always has the money, the power, the legal right and the intent to find you and bring you back...then it's worse than ever. Then they are living in constant fear...which isn't good for the kids. It's a Gordian Knot, no matter how you put it.
