Welcome

Wow, I can’t actually believe that I have done this. Writing a blog! I must be mad, but I hope to gain a lot from writing this. I am 40 years young, have 2 children, and a husband. I have been living in the UK since I was 17 and have never looked back. I was born in Germany, and both of my parents are German. My birth mum was 21 when she had me, and my father was in prison at the time. My father was an addict, and my birth mum had mental health problems as well as being a user. I don’t think it was anything too heavy, but I do remember my grandparents telling me that my parents used to hang around in town all night with friends, drinking and using. My birth mum still lived with my grandparents when I was born but managed to get us our own little flat. However, I still spent most of the time at my grandparents’ house due to my mother’s poor mental health and feeling unable to cope. This was my start into life, and it only got worse from there; however, I would like to tell you what my life is like now, my worries, my struggles, and my fears…
