Hi Julia,
I'm afraid I don't get it.
Boiling down your posts here and to the Short Memories thread: Somebody (unnamed) here either lied about their past or maybe contradicted something they posted earlier (it's hard to tell which.) So you've decided to stop posting here. I'll bet everyone here has "embellished" a story at one time or another, so what? Sometimes it just makes a better story, sometimes it's just been retold so many times the teller believes the embellishments are the truth, and sometimes it's just a lie.
Sounds like you've had a rough life. So have others. You mention Catholic school. I was forced to go to them, as well, for 11 years. I was regularly beaten by the teachers/Clergy and by my fellow students. I didn't fit in there and everyone knew it. (From what's come out in the news the last few years, I was lucky to only have been beaten. I wasn't a very pretty kid, guess that saved me.)
I was never in prison, though I certainly should have been based on some (many) of the things I did in my youth. Dumb luck.
Again, I don't get it. You've had a rough life and somebody lied. Okay, so why are you really leaving?
