Radio Episode 138: I grew up without my father - a podcast by Teen Girl Talk with Esther & Steph

"I don’t exactly have the typical family. I have a mum, a dad, a stepdad and stepmum, one half-sister, two half-brothers, and five stepsisters. Now you’re probably thinking, how on earth does that work? Wait while I fill you in on the background.

I was born in December 1995 in the small town of Maryborough, Queensland. I think my mum was about 19 and my dad, 20. I lived in a caravan park for about three months before my mum had to leave. My dad was into smoking and alcohol (maybe even drugs) and didn’t help mum, so mum left.

She wrote a note while my dad was out and left it for him to read when he got back. Mum rang her Aunty Lynaire and Uncle Terry, who lived in New South Wales and they didn’t hesitate to come and pick us up and bring us home.
