abscond /əbˈskänd/

I hastened my exit strategy, disposing of my career prematurely and creating more financial dysfunction than originally planned, moving in with Biodad and the semi-separated wife, interpreting that I would assist them in restructuring their side-swiped lives.  Unbeknownst to me, they had been interpreting that I would be a great roomie to party with. They then spent my difficultly-acquired money on booze, cigarettes and party supplies while I hid in my room, surviving a soundtrack to madness and biding my time.
