Growing up my parents were busy working trying to make ends meet. There was no holidays, no luxuries, we had the basics. It wasn't a particularly loving household but they were never cruel or selfish. I have a good relationship with my mum (my dad has passed) now.

I feel for people with manipulative and selfish parents. It's not the way it should be.
