Fair enough, things got better for me in my teens, my parents got work, qualified etc. The biggest achievement in my life is that none of my kids have had to come home to a cold house with **** all in the fridge, if i was going to get one thing right then that was it. I can't understand those people who seem to think that just because they got out of poverty then so should others, i may not have had much but what i did have was loving parents and a support network around me, plenty of kids don't have that.
