Liz I have learned patience (what were the thanks for?)

I was but a young child and my mother said "just wait until your father gets home". So I did.

GP it seemed like it at the time

Never realised you had a long lost sister, Errol. Would you still recognise her? She would be mutton dressed as lamb :-D

Mind you, what were you still doing living at home when you were 45?

Poor old Errol. It accounts for a lot. It really does. ;-)

Never realised you had had to cope with such a childhood, Errol. I shall try to show you a lot more sympathy in future. Has your father ever explained his absence?

Presumably you were in your late teens when this happened?

5.30 :-0 :-0 I didn't realise it was so bad. If you have children I hope you have never traumatised them in such a manner :-|

How did you know that? Are you my long lost sister?
Only food, warm clothes, how did I cope?

I remember it well.
My dad left one morning and didn't come back until after work.
I was devastated.
