He felt very socially unconfident.
And when he eventually got to the sort of point of of of leaving home, it that was a sort of final separation with his family, really.
He he estranged himself from then on.

um invite them to his wedding, he didn't go to his parents' funerals.
It was a sort of lifelong um separation from that point.

It's, you know, i a a pretty sad sort of story in in Morris' case un until he meets Marilyn and finds this you know, discovers, I suppose, what love can be and um and has a very, you know, contented relationship with her, even though she's wildly different.
But, you know, I suppose it was something that I really wanted to to chart in the book was

I think there was nothing there for him to sort of stay attached to.
Yeah.
So Marilyn, I I mean her origin story is sort of
fascinating in its own way in that she was actually adopted by h her parents.
