And an only child, too...it's why I could entertain myself with a chemistry set and I did at the time..the multi-coloured carpet stains prove it.

Go to church on Sundays which I disliked.
Now of course I find churches peaceful places to enter and I feel nostalgic about the familiar words and music.

I loved it……. I moved in with my dad when I was 14 for a short while…. Stupid in hindsight as he was a raging alcoholic who couldn’t even look after himself…. I basically came and went as I pleased, stopped going to school, stayed out all hours with a group of older lads…. I was loving life. Little did I realise then that it would hinder me in later life when having to get myself some qualifications in my 20’s and 30’s so I could get a decent job.

See my parents fight, argue and generally ruin my childhood, Christmas, birthdays, all has the silent treatment to at least one of us. Remember my dad being locked out by my mum and forced to sleep in the car, sit in the step, I saw him through the two wired glass pane and let him back in.
Still haunts me to this day how they treated their own kids.

Looking back, it was probably best for me, but I can see how it could mess up some youngsters. No complaints from me TBH. Who knows, it's probably messed me up in some way only a psychologist would demand pay to cast an educated guess at.

Had years and years of it….. but as a kid you don’t realise it’s not normal…. Only as I got older did I know my childhood was ruined by an alcoholic father.. luckily I’ve turned out ok, I swore I would never be that man he was.. hopefully I haven’t. Been with my partner now for 31 years (few blips along the road) and raised 2 fantastic kids …. Even last weekend I went to a james gig with my daughter, she knows I love them and got me a ticket for Xmas, she’s 27 now but we went together, had a few too many beers and laughed and danced together for 6 hours… it was great

Growing up with a stepmother who hated me and a stepfather who was old-fashioned (i.e. raising children was a job for women). Luckily, I was one of those kids that took to reading and had a primary school teacher who encouraged it. There was certainly no encouragement at home. By reading I learnt that there was a whole world out there, which may or may not be your oyster, but it was there nonetheless. So, by the age of 16, I left school and was out the door. Haven't returned. Still, four kids (all born with the proverbial 10 x 10), an ex, and a weird passion for a football club by the name of Everton, life could've been worse. At least that's what I say to comfort myself
