Only child, mum and dad who always fought...split up...back together....abusive relationship....I adored my mum...adored her..She was my world. She died tragically in a car crash when I was 14 hrs old..

I have had to do some hard work over the past years.. To forgive my dad which I have...completely..but it took some time and only really happened when I was 35. He is a wonderful man..I had to find a way to stop being angry....and to discover trust and intimacy in my relationships.

So, what i am most proud off is quite simply that I am now sitting in a beautiful, loving marriage....my gorgeous wife and this little boy.....





at 44 I reckoned I may have recovered too late.....(but there's an important lesson in that thought - - oh the arm bandages are because I decided to come flying off my cycle in a local Masters tournament - something else I'm proud of in terms of personal achievements....not falling but racing !!!!......)

I love the pictures along with your openness. You have a wonderful family (your little boy is beyond adorable!)
