My mum Kate got pregnant with me at 14 she had me the day after her 15th birthday. My dad to be fair to him stuck around he was 16 at the time. They got married when mum was 18 I was 3 years old.
Mum was the eldist of 4 I had 2 uncles John and Sam and a aunt Mary who was only 3 years older than me.

As Mum and Dad couldn’t set up thier own home we lived with my Grandmother & grandfather. Mary & I grew up like brother & sister we would fight like cats & dogs but were very close we were oftern taken for brother & sister which my grandmother fostered.

When I was 13 Mum & Dad got thier own place about 2 miles from the rest of the family. Mums family would pop over from time to time and things setteled down well. Mum would send me over to Grans at least once a week to spend the night so that her and dad could go out.

It was in the summer I was on school holiday for 6 weeks mum had to go to work so I would be left on my own. Mary would come over she was now 19 an between jobs.
