With Daisy I found other ways to be. I built a much healthier relationship with alcohol, and myself.

The joy that came with being a mum was worth the accompanying heartbreak.

There's a lot to be gained from the simple act of being understood by someone.

What I would want most, is a day back with my dad, just me and him.

There was definitely a time when I did hate him, but I hated myself too.

Haven't been for over 40 years - but I like that he still thinks of us that way.
