I've heard you talk about your childhood over the years but reading your story really touched me. Thanks for sharing Mick.

Wow....brave, vulnerable, heart-wrenching story - the fact you were able to grasp such a concept so young makes you wise beyond your years....I cannot imagine such a start to life and how one moves forward in that realm. Hell, I've been dealing with pain of watching my parents grow old. Kudos to you, my friend. It's like Keanu Reeves (and I don't quite the KR often) said via his character in Parenthood, 'they'll let any old asshole be a father." And he was speaking to all parents who are so irresponsible for their children. Always stuck with me.
