I'll spare the obvious details...
Long story short, police arrived. Dad told them i am this delinquent kid that cant be controlled. Admits that he constantly uses corporal punishment. Keep note i am 24 now and times were much different 10 years ago.But police believe it was necessary. Tells the police that while he was trying to decipline me over bad grades(which wasnt the case, it was overy messy room) that i suddenly turner around and attacked him.
Police take me to the city jail to be "booked" even though there were no formal charges, but i was sent to a semi correctional facility from age 14-16.
I know this is hard to believe, but i will continue my story if anyone cares to hear it.
