Next holidays, I'm leaving.
And I remember telling mum, I think at the start of, or just before the September school holidays of that year, I'm like, I want to move to Brisbane.
Can you please ask your, because mum's twin sister lived in Brisbane.
You need to ask her if I can live with her.
And mom, I think, just was so scared of losing me.
If she really put her foot down about it, she was like, okay.
So organized for me to move and live with, you know, my uncle and auntie in Brisbane.
And those September holidays, I just packed up and disappeared.
A lot of people didn't even really know that.
That's what was happening.
And I lost a lot of friends.
I don't know if he ever had any intention of really getting me into that dance program or not, but it certainly didn't happen.
And I was just enrolled in the local high school that I lived near.
And yeah, we continued to see each other all the way through.
Through my school years.
When did you get married?
I was 21.
I'd just turned 21 when we got married.
And by that stage, I was already pregnant.
I was about four and a half months pregnant, I think, at that time.
