Getting left at home alone at age eight when your family goes on a Christmas vacation apparently doesn't bode well for a stable, happy adulthood.

This isn't the cute holiday classic you remember, though — it's much, much darker. "I had to fend off my house from two psychopath home invaders," Kevin says, while filling in as an ride-share driver. "I was just a kid. I mean, I still have nightmares about this bald weirdo dude chasing me around.”
