Now, the thing to remember, Claire, like even in your own case, if you do decide to do it and maybe there is family that don't want you to do it or like memoir isn't fact.
Memoir is your reconstruction of an experience.
I'm not telling my brother's experience or my sister's experience or even my parents and honestly if I'd have written this book 20 years ago it would have been a completely different story.
Because how I've changed, how I see the world changes and how I can articulate myself has changed.
No, I didn't belong.
Absolutely.
But you stuck with it.
I left.
Well, the reason I stuck with it is...
In some ways, like where I come from is sometimes quite helpful in the brash, aggressive way I can be and could be back then particularly.
Right.
So I don't know if you can be that way, but there's a part of me that would be like, you know, fuck them.
There was a piece of me that was kind of fighting them without actually actively fighting them like mentally.
But there was also a part of me that really knew that.
that I was only there to get educated that was my mantra it's like I'm not here to make friends I can't anyway because I've got a seven-year-old son and I'm on my own and I've got to do 10 hours lectures and I've got to do the assignments and he's got to be minded and I just can't deal with how confident they are and the way they talk about couscous and skiing and inter-railing I was just like that's not for me
so I'm never going to fit in so I'm not going to try I didn't try and sometimes I regret that because some of them actually they were really lovely people a lot of them were really lovely it depends where what course you're in as well so like in psychology they're very high points but like it was a very small class and a lot of them are there because they want to do psychology which means that there's a difference so like if you'd have gone to Bess or
Where the dupes are, you're like, and the O'Neills.
I wouldn't have survived there.
And the other thing is I did find my people.
So I made friends with all the security staff, all the women that worked in the butlery.
