I was very close to my grandparents, just like you are with me, Ruby.
Probably not as close, but they were caring.
So I went and stayed with them a lot and had dinner with them a lot.
So what happened, Ruby, I went to high school.
And I just want to say that in those days, which was early 1960s,
that we weren't told anything about sex.
We didn't have close relationships with our parents like people do now.
We weren't cuddled or kissed.
We were just told, behave yourself, don't go out with boys.
And that's kind of, we had to find out ourselves how that worked out.
So I really couldn't wait to leave home.
It wasn't a happy place.
And I think now when I look back, it's taken me a long time to work that out, but I think my parents were very unhappy.
And in those days you didn't get divorced.
And also in those days there was no support for a single mother.
