"Broke into" - yes, but it's "breaking and entering." Braking is what you do with the pedal in your car.

Forced my family - this could mean they were evicted, or it could just mean he threw them out at gunpoint while he ransacked the house, I suppose. Can't tell just from "forced."

"you were lucky" - yes.

Thanks, D!
I'm always confusing the spelling of brake/break.
A very bad knack.

Don't worry. The only ones you really need to watch are your/you're and its/it's. Everything else is forgivable. Emotion: smile
