She was drinking at school, she burned all her books, and apparently this is as soon as she met me, but she was already being in trouble, she was already doing that sort of thing anyway, so, yeah.

Well, eventually the two of you moved out, and you started living rough for a while, because there was nowhere... We lived rough for about a year in a tent, railway stations, you know, train stations, bus stations, things like that, just to sleep.

She wasn't drinking.

No, she didn't smoke.

She didn't do anything.

She had a clean pregnancy.

That's the case for both of my children, yeah.

But then as soon as the children were born... That was it.

I didn't want to know.

I didn't want to...

Bath her, put her to bed, change her bum, give her her food, go shopping with the buggy or anything like that.

I didn't see her for a year and a half.

A year and a half we lived, me and my eldest, we lived together for a year and a half without, I didn't know where she was.

Yes, she was.

Whiskey, vodka, stolen goods and not bringing home the money for what was needed for the kids, the house, just normal.

No, it was unbearable.

She almost scolded my second daughter, the youngest one, in the bath, lifting her into the bath.

And I got in there to grab just before it happened because she filled the bath up, but she'd been drinking.

No, no.

So that was another close show.
