It really isn't surprising he was like he was having to live with the coldness from his own mother. Your dad has issues which go way back and he was in no position to have kids. <BR/><BR/>Your sentence, a 17 yr old adult helping a 44 yr old child is so very true.<BR/><BR/>Crystal xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839709777555132615.post-65374256394353124322007-12-06T09:45:00.000+00:002007-12-06T09:45:00.000+00:00Thanks Driving, I appreciate your comments and I t...Thanks Driving, I appreciate your comments and I think I've turned out quite well too, my mum would also agree!!She's like the windhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075810201419237816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839709777555132615.post-23084608697810609532007-12-06T04:28:00.000+00:002007-12-06T04:28:00.000+00:00I agree with MMOF!

I am reading with baited breath (though I don't often comment because I am too stunned to say anything that I think sounds remotely appropriate!)<BR/><BR/>I find the process that people go through to get to where they are truly fascinating - particularly when they overcome adversity and turn out to be such splendidly well-rounded individuals, as you seem to be!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839709777555132615.post-39547327939850063222007-12-05T10:48:00.000+00:002007-12-05T10:48:00.000+00:00Hi MMOF, firstly thank you for your love it much a...Hi MMOF, firstly thank you for your love it much appreciated to know I am not travelling this journey alone. <BR/><BR/>Drink obviously took over completely. Apparently when someone drinks so much they start to lose brain cells and it's a bit like having dementia, although we didn't know that then. Nearly everyone I know has been affected by drink in some shape or form.<BR/><BR/>It's funny how we remember dates from years back, but I couldn't tell you what I had for my dinner last night. You must have felt very alone back then, pregnant and away from your family. <BR/><BR/>xxShe's like the windhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075810201419237816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839709777555132615.post-84161167541885417942007-12-04T20:47:00.000+00:002007-12-04T20:47:00.000+00:00Fuck! You certainly make me hold my breath. I re...Fuck! You certainly make me hold my breath. I read your posts and end up letting out gasps of shock or disbelief. As dgibbs said, don't think your dad had room in his head for anything or anyone. My (real) dad is a bit of a twat - drank alot, worked away from home and had his own independent life, never spent time with me etc, etc - the usual but at least I can pick up a phone and tell him he's useless and he has the grace to feel something.... <BR/><BR/>On a different note, your timeline makes things so real for me - around the time you were going through such upheaval, so was I - March 1990 I moved from my lovely Norfolk to Northern Ireland - away from all my family and friends to be with my husband who was in the forces. I was pregnant too. Must have been something in the air that year........<BR/><BR/>As ever honey, much love xxxManic Mother Of Fivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181042998628457061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839709777555132615.post-15308464209636969372007-12-04T19:48:00.000+00:002007-12-04T19:48:00.000+00:00Hi dgibbs, I think you have hit the nail on the he...Hi dgibbs, I think you have hit the nail on the head.

Sounds like he was just heading to rock bottom and was so wrapped up in his own woes that he couldn't be bothered. <BR/><BR/>And that Gran of your's, how rediculous is that worrying about a rent rebate!dgibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635544947372447974noreply@blogger.com
