True South east boy, My Mum and Dad were married 63years and most of them were unhappy for my Mum but, there was 6 of us kids and she stood by us all.
It wasn't until my Dad retired that things changed for the better for her. Was she right or wrong to stay all those unhappy years, me thinks not ( oh sorry this london talk is rubbing off).
Dad was a good man, he didn't beat any of us but, he did drink, gamble and liked the women.
I do remember one night while 'Family at war' was on the TV and Mum found at packet of butterscotch angel delight. It was shared between 5 of us because Dawn, my sister was watching 'That'll be the day' with David Essex at the pictures and Dad was sowing his seeds...oh happy days
We all loved him anywayz
