I never heard Granny say a bad word about my father, but I know she was incredibly supportive of my mum leaving him. She always wished the best for everyone. I think I have inherited some of her mischief and joie de vivre, and I hope her compassion.
I strive never to say a bad word about the girls’ father. After everything he put me through, all the waking/living nightmares and trauma I still ask how he is.
