Terrible ParentingMy parents used to lock my brother, sister and I in the car while they went to the pub for a "quick one" after work. This quick one might last several hours, during which they would send bottles of Indian Tonic Water to us by way of refreshment.
On one particularly cold evening, bored stupid, we lit a small bonfire on the back seat of the car using the cigarette lighter and the contents of the glove box. We owe our lives to passing winos. (BTW: Please no more Maddie or Jesus gags, they've been done.)

I got off lightly!i thought my childhood had been pretty shit and that real full-on abuse was rare until i read about all you poor feckers!
My mother had her moments, but seems to have held back all her fucked-up'edness until we'd left home...
Since we flew the nest she's;
Fucked my stepfathers best mate - in the house - while my stepfather was in bed asleep. (I actually think the sick fuck knew all about it and let them because he couldn't get it up). I should point out that this 'mate' was a 'Thalidomide' so he had fucked up arms like chicken-wings. It's perhaps cruel of me, but I think this adds insult to injury. Fucked up cripple arms hardly scream 'SEXY' do they?
The stepfather died, causing an end to this affair and (probably through guilt) my mother hit the bottle big-time and is still in it 5 years later.
She couldn't afford to keep their house (no insurance to pay off mortgage) so had to sell and move into a council place - no shame there. She ticked all the boxes to get full rent benefit for several years, although she got about £40k from the house and ended up in court for fraud. (She's now half-way through a suspended sentence).
As I said above, it's more wierd because she was pretty good (read: normal) when we were kids. I'm a trainee accountant with no criminal record and a perfect credit score!
