I swear this is the final leave post

Hey guys. Kind of abrupt, I know, but see here's the thing.
So, without sharing too much info, my sister had a falling out of our family. She blames my mother for lack of education, but in reality the internet took much of her time. She'd be asleep during the day, skipping out on entire meals and her work. The reason I mention this is because I'm sort of in the same spot here. My parents trust me to do my work and my school without them constantly looking over my shoulder. But this simply isn't happening and I haven't gotten a lick of work done because I've been too occupied with the internet in general.
That and I fear the stuff I've been around has influenced me too much. I've learned about things I really should not know at this age, and interacted with people and completely accepted the things they've done and said without saying anything. I've not only accepted it but repeated it. Regardless of what you think of that, I am very ashamed of myself.
My dad's PC is still available to a degree, and I'll still be able to get on every now and then. But in the face of my future and school, the internet should not have taken up this much time.
So this isn't because I dislike KR all of a sudden. It's just a very desperate need for me. It's also because I'm unsure of the frequency that I'll be able to get on that I decided to leave and not post in absence.
One final detail about my sister. See, just minutes before this I had requested a name change to Key, so it's not like this decision took long. She had been biting my mom viciously, and I decided I do not want to cause my mom to cry the way she has for years now.
I'll be disconnecting my wireless tomorrow as I still have projects to send out to some of my 'clients' ( If I feel so important enough to call them that )
So see you guys later, and please get Phenoix on the line about updating this old website. Cheers!

I'm very surprised but i have been in a similar situation as you are in atm.
Not getting anything done and spending too much time on the internet, I let that happen to me as well but you will see that there is a middleway to balance your RL duties and internet time. It might take some time but I'm sure you will find it. Message me if you need an open ear.
Wish you all the best and hope that your family can sort things out soon.
Come back anytime.

Frog I really have to advise heavily against this decision.
You've posted in leaves several times for similar reasons, only to return days later. The Abence topic in KR does not have a time limit, you can stay absent for as long as you need, you may return as inactive but essentially a member.
You said just minutes ago you requested a name change? This is obviously an impetuous and rash decision. You don't have to go to extremes all the time. If you really want to make a greater commitment for your family, you will set realistic goals for yourself and learn to discipline your activities through moderation, not just quit cold turkey minutes after you came up with the idea, because we all know you won't follow through that way.
My advice? Move this to Absence, take a week away from KR, and think on this. Is this really what you want to do?
Normally I would respect your decision and move on, but as your friend I can't automatically approve this. Your choices are your own, I'm just asking you to consider them carefully.

Sad to hear this Frog, but I understand your reasoning. It's always been said that real life > KR life, and I fully stand behind that. If you ever want to come back, we'll be here. Take care of yourself

Well, I know how hard life can be, and how much space jka can take. It's up to you to find the right balance, but if you think that you can't manage it, then the best way is to disconnect for a while
I wish you all the best

Thanks everyone for your kind words
I just thought I'd mention, my Dad does use steam regularly when he's not working. I.e, that's not me. Chat with him at your own peril!
