thanks for your reply Terry, apart from the obvious she is a great Mum and i think she’s done a good job of bringing me up on her own, a part of me is still hopeful that one day i’ll meet her family, even if it’s only just to show them that we did ok on our own, i’m not sure it will ever happen as my Mum is very bitter towards her parents, she has never touched a penny of the trust fund that they set up in her name and could’ve used from the age of 21 (i don’t think of them as my own family as they’ve played no part in my life)
