I can still remember my earlier years, when i was about 8-10. My life was pretty straight forward and i had no worries. My best subjects in school were English and Art for i've always been very imaginative and creative.
Then my days became worse, i had a very shallow social life, forever cooped up on my computer, the internet my source of communication. Then my parents began to argue every night, and out of the blue alcohol appeared and became a ghost that hovered around them every night of the week. I can still remember the smell of it sticking in my throat and causing my stomach to twist into a number of unbreakable knots that retighten whenever i smell it now.
I remember first hearing the raised voices, muffled by the walls and my bedroom floor. It was like, i didn't want to hear but i HAD To know what was going on. I was around 10 or 11 when the bad arguements started..
I clambered to the top of the stairs, listening. I couldn't make much out but i heard slammed doors and slurred yells. It was pure hell and i felt sick with anxiousness. Then the night of the biggest row happened ever. I caught my mum and dad literally fighting, and then we found out the cause of all the arguements. Me and my twin sister couldn't take it in, we were shocked and disgusted but more worried about what was happening at the time.
The fight started at around 10 and finished around 1 in the morning and i was exhausted. My parents still carried on arguing quietly in their bedroom thinking i was deaf. I wasn't.
The next day, my mum and dad announced that dad was going to stay at his mumsfor 2 weeks, they needed a breather. WE were terrified of a split up. During those 2 weeks my mum and twin sister Kirsty fell out constantly, mainly because my mum got drunk or tipsy. Thankfully, my dad came back and everything gradually went back to normal, it was even better. My dad no longer stayed on his computer 24/7. For starters they drunk every single night but even now they've managed to keep it to every weekend thank God. There have been a few problems involving my parents and a few really bad fights but they have all turned out OK in the end. Everything is fine at the moment and i pray that it stays this way. I started year 9 in high school, everything was great, still is there. I lost weight and began to go to occassional parties and gradually built up my confidence and my social life. My drawing adapted and i found new interests. I got a new boyfriend Adam Denby and although we went through a very bad time we are still together now and happy. Hopefully to be engaged in December which makes me sound really old lol but i'm only a teenager. It's perfectly legal. I have my birthday to look forward to and the concert i am going to shortly. I may be young but i am already beginning to plan out my future. It's not going to be easy i can tell, life never is. Its' like a ribbon, never perfectly straight and always has curves in and and you have to choose which curve or path to take. Different ones will take uou to different heights and life styles, but you can never remake any choice.
This is just a little bit of my background.
