aww thats lovely Rubes 8)
I can catagorically say I was NOT meant atall, and my parents have been very open and honest about their/my story.
Mum was 15 and dad was 17.
I use to to imagine when I was 15 what it must have been like for my mum, but I could never come close. Until I had my own children and it really hit home just how much they must have gone through.
When my mum told my gran she was pregnant, gran dragged her down to Liverpool to get me aborted (they didnt do abortions in scotland).
Mum ran out of the hospital waiting area (go mum!). Dad was threatened by my Grandad and my uncle.
they stuck it out and saw it through, mum was 16 the month after I was born, dad was 18 the week before I was born. They were married 4 months after I was born. yep.. right little bastard I was!
Happily married 35 years on, they are my best friends, and we infact share groups of friends because of our closeness in age, and I have friends older than them, and they oo have friends younger than me.
To go through what they did inspires me. They are my hereos.
I only wish they werent going through so much grief caused by my sister at the moment, its not all her fault because of her illnes, but its really unfair that at this stage in their lives they are not getting the opportunity to enjoy time together, as they are continuously (well, we all are) trying to keep her out of trouble.
