There were nineteen years between my grandparents, and I was in a relationship for five years from the age of fifteen to twenty with a man who was thirteen years older than me who remains one of the loves of my life, and he passed away when I was twenty years old.

Those days of every child having a mummy and daddy who lived at home - Daddy went to work, and Mummy stayed at home and took care of everyone - those days have almost gone, and its so much more unconventional now.

There are moments to indulge and enjoy, but I always know when its time to go home and wash my knickers.

Experiencing those moments of being alone... is a very, very weird flooring and exposing position to be in when youre just not used to it... But Ive never been lonely. And with my kids Mia and Joe that remains the case.

Mum and Dad were very much friends and up for life. There was no anxiety for anything when I was growing up they just taught me to be me.
