      I wish… 3 countries on, I haven’t even been in the same town as him since I think 2006 at the latest. Don’t even think I had access to the internet at that time.

      Personal Rant Time

      Looking back, I think he grew up with a single parent. My parents split up after I finished school/reached adulthood.

      Chatting to others who had ‘less than optimal parents’ I noticed that even though some had parents who split up at one point, its different when you are 6-8 years old, and you learn to live with it.

      And when you are 18-20 years old, getting ready to move out, and then you learn your entire childhood was a lie.
