Just the Beginning…..

So I was born and grew up in a country in Southern Africa. I went to some pretty good schools. I was a little rebellious child who had a mouth on me and some attitude. From a very young age I knew I did not fit people’s perception of normal. My grandmother raised me as my Mum had me when she was 16. As I lived with my grandmother I knew I had to be strong as they were loads of other people so that’s how I became a little feisty and stubborn girl. At 6 years I had to move to my Aunt and Uncle’s house, they were like my parents and treated me as their own. They were there for everything my parents weren’t as they were working to send me to these amazing schools I went to. I was very rebellious and rude but they tolerated me and were very good parents. When I was in my early teens I then joined my parents in the UK. It was really good spending time with them but it was also odd in some ways as I couldn’t take them seriously as they did not raise me. My father and I had plenty of arguments as we were both stubborn. But we loved each other a great deal, in the early 2000’s my father was diagnosed with Renal failure this broke my heart. And often when he had dialysis I would go visit him at the hospital this was too much for me to bare seeing my Dad slowly becoming weaker and weaker and having to rely on a machine to clean his system. Anyway during this time I also witnessed my Dad from being one of the most secure and confident people in the room. To a person who was insecure and would constantly check on his wife. It was sad to see the person I believed to be like superman lose his power and his charm………….more to come
