I was "kidnapped". I put it in speech marks because it was only for an hour and my friend's dad came and saved us.
But yeah, I used to wander a lot. My dad had to work every hour God sent and my mum was agoraphobic so nobody really cared what I did, as long as I wasn't in their way. Parental attention would have been nice, but having such freedom was equally nice. I know not everyone gets that but it was like I was alone in the world and could just explore it how I wanted. It's difficult to explain properly, but it was good.
Yeah, I know it sounds hard, but there are some benefits to having a lot of time to yourself. Although, I think it's made me need more alone-time as an adult. Hmm.
