We are regressing back to “a chicken in every pot”.

Dude I replied to you in the last thread.

Walk out of the house. Now.

Yep most BIOSes will have a toggle for Secure Boot. Make off.

I grew up in a very similar house. This is indeed uncommon.

My advice:

• you’re doing great by going to therapy
• get out of the house at all costs as soon as possible (today if possible)
• wherever you end up, you will have a rough go, but you will find work and a way to support yourself. You’re a good person, and people want to work with good people
• in your new city, join a volunteer group. This will help you to understand that there are good people out there, that you can make a positive difference in the lives of people with similar experiences, and that there’s good in the world. Social connectedness is very strongly correlated with happiness
• people can begin to resemble their abusers but sometimes they become saints. You’re on the right trajectory, keep up the good work

I’m a programmer. Happy to take a DM from you anytime. Also if you go to SF, I can give you more info.
