I found my family
My mum and dad split up when i was but a mere 1-year old.

For a variety of reasons which I won't go into here my dad was unable to keep in touch, and so it came to pass that I told my mum I wanted to find him. We agreed that I would wait until I was 16, and then she'd help me.

So, come my 16th birthday I set about finding my dad. It didn't take long, but it was quite strange to find that a 16-year old wannabe guitarist studying computer-related GCSEs found that his 15 year estranged dad was working in London as in IT contractor and had been known to spend the odd evening at the pub with a guitar, playing and singing.

Part 2 of the story is that not very long after I got back in touch my mum and dad met up for a drink and chat about old times, only to find that the spark hadn't died and there was an instant "click" when they saw each other again... they're married* now and made for each other \o/


*getting married btw involved them both getting divorced from their respective partners first; it was a long and rocky journey...

Aw that's lovely.
Not for the respective partners though but lovely nonetheless.

To be honest...
...I think both respective partners got what they deserved.

My stepfather's abuse has been mentioned in a few of my previous posts, and as for some of the stuff my dad said his ex-wife used to do... O_o
