Hi, Bunk.....no.....my mother was quite wild, I suppose.....but then got pregnant with me...had to marry and settle down....and wasn't really happy with married life and my dad.
She simply blamed me for ruining her life and just never loved me.
That happens and you get on with it, I suppose.......but as I got older she couldn't cope with seeing me have a life and the chance to go to university because I was quite bright......and maybe have fun so, when I was fifteen she took a hissy fit, attacked me with the bread knife and a yard brush and threw me out.....
Bad enough standing in the road with not even a toothbrush thinking....Oh heck....what do I do now....but she binned all my Joan Baez and Buddy Holly records too!
