Have you ever been disowned?
36 Answers
My mum completely disowned me once in Boots in about 1979. Never mind genes & all things maternal - she turned her back on me & pretended she hadn't seen me when I knew darn well she had.
Any Why? Because I was in my 'scruff' phase & I had jeans with holes in the knees, a brown duffel coat & a canary yellow sweatshirt that had emblazoned on it "Virginity is like a bubble - one prick & it's gone forever".
I know what she was thinking "Why can't she be more like her sister - and wear skirts and be smart?".
It has had a profound effect on my life.

I think she expected me to be a nicely turned out, well-spoken, well-educated, ambitious & successful young woman just because I 'passed' my 11-plus and went to all all girl's High School. She didn't expect me to turn into a scruffbag who resented the elitism & snobbery of such a school, only wore jeans and drunk pints of guinness.
(I have matured, a little, since. And I do wear skirts and dresses...!)

I'm good thanks, NoM - given a couple of tickets to see Ultravox tonight at The Brighton Dome - original line up too - Midge Ure, Chris Cross, Warren Cann & Billy Currie, so well up for that!!
Don't worry about your appetite - it's only early yet - what 2.50pm in spain, so you have lots of time before you can tuck into your curry!
Hope it goes well, sweetheart! xx
I'm off now as Boo Boo just got in and she wants me to go out with her before kids home - so much for my hour or so in the garden.eh!!!
Have fun xx

I organised a trip to Blackpool for the girls(well we would be in our 50s at the time...lol)
we were staying in this rather seedy B&B, as the clown of the group(me) I alsways did something outrageous!
This time I visited the local charity shop and bought a flowery dress, a cross-over apron, some thick Norah Batty's a "lived in " wig some old horn rimms, put a basket over my arm and sat outside on the pavement asking passers-by for " a copper for a cuppa please" all of girls were hanging out of the windows shrieking with laughter, that is until a police car pulled up.......then they disowned me, don't know why!,(the two young policeman, took it in great fun...lol) Thankfully
