Well I say forced in the sense of threatened with physical or emotional violence. To a child, even emotional abandonment by one's parents can be perceived as "psychological death" (this is a term I did not invent) because the child is dependent on its parents for survival. So yes, it's a choice, but the choice not to be injured is what I consider forced. I liked BSG too... although it is looooooong. I even bought the board game, but then I had nobody to play it with.
