My childhood was happy, busy and full of love. Mum was incredible at raising me and my sister on her own. She worked hard to buy our council house, did a great job of making memories, and made every Christmas and summer holiday as exciting as she could.
In an ideal world everybody wants a relationship with both parents, but my dad wasn’t in the picture. I didn’t know any different and I didn’t suffer. He missed out, which is a shame, but it was his choice.
