They do, its called escape and never return. Wife and I both did that in the military, we gambled our old dead end life styles and hoped we could make a better one leaving everyone else behind. I think its why we get along great and are still happily married, we both made our big escapes and the gamble paid off. We both see what is happening to everyone else who "stuck around" and its not good for the majority of them.I feel for her kids because they don't have a chance.
