I've followed this since October and kept candles/good vibes going in your direction from time to time. From growing up where I did ("The Rust Belt" is near enough to identify it) and being related to who I am, getting out was the safest thing you could do. I'd have been sorely tempted to toss a lit match in their direction one evening and let that be the end of them. Those places go up like kindling. You're a better and stronger person than I.
Thanking the gods you and your children are safe, and hoping that's still the case.
