I kicked off because my mum said that SHE had had a hard life. Her mum and dad spoiled her rotten as a youngster. She got a brand new blue mini cooper for her 17th birthday. She told them to take it back. She went out partying all weekends from an early age like 15. She got a good office job and knew sage.
She was going on about my real father who turned nasty when he had a stroke. I believe he was verbally abusive and that is why she had to leave.
When she was a kid she was born with club foot and wore callipers. I guess she did have some troubles.
I know we were never well off compared to her brothers family. But we were far from poor. I hated how she pleaded poverty to her brothers family and I would always snap we aren't that bad. I was always embarrassed when I got home because of my behaviour.
My life was hardly a walk in the park even before I ended up in hospital for psychiatric treatment.
