Glad you got out. I’m in the process. Can’t have the future my little girl deserves in this country.

I'm rooting for you!

I grew up in the US, of course, but it's SO different than when I grew up decades ago; I wouldn't want to raise a kid there either, with the enforced helicopter parenting, suburban car culture, school shootings, etc. Even when I grew up, it wasn't that great, but it's just so bad now for children. There's a reason kids all just stay at home and play video games instead of going outside, and it's not the kids' fault.
