Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

My stepdadWas a complete cunt to me.
Moved in when I was 14, turned me from a bright normal boy into a bitter and twisted adult.
Tight? Mostly where I was concerned, wouldn't let me have the radiator on in my bedroom for example.
I try not to dwell on it.

Mean in both senses of the wordMy heating hasn't been working lately, and the heating from the flats above and below is no substitute for the radiator in my room not working. It's pretty miserable, but at least I know its accidental and being dealt with. I can't imagine how it felt having it purposively withheld from you by the people that are supposed to care for you - you definitely deserved better.
