I don't think that's a real quote, so I think we can change things to the way we want them to be.

Since I have been in the fourth grade my dad has been a heavy drinker. He abused me mentally and physically, and he was very angry at me all the time. My mom was constantly putting me down. She would do nothing to stop my stepdad from beating me. Once she sat and watched him beat me up. I was always getting into trouble at school. One time my stepdad was very drunk and he hit me hard in the face many times. I ran away from home, and I have had no place to go since then.

That should give you an idea of the way things need to be changed.
