So I had this period of time without it. We made a witness when I was, I think I was eight years old and that's when I picked up dancing again and I think I'd really bugged my mum for yearies. And I did sports at school. I'm just very additive. I think with probably one of those kids who never sat still, you know, I was always outside. I was always upside down or kicking a ball or something. And dancing for me, it was just a way of expressing myself in a freedom. And it was almost like a safe”

“Yeah, it's weird. I don't think you're really funny. I don't think you haven't fully understood your parents, but I think you get a much better understanding of them when you become a parent. But at the end of the day, I think as a child, you look up to these adults thinking, you know, they know how everything should be and how everything should be done. And then when you become an adult, you're like, no, I'm 15 a year and a half and I still haven't got a clue. And I still feel like a child. And my mom always said, I'm like a teenager. And he's like, can I get it now? We'll all just try and figure it out throughout our lives, you know. I don't think we then get to that age where we go yet. I've got it now.”

“No, they really have because I think, you know, just that thing of being the kid and your life is your life. So it's just that you get told something like, oh, okay, then. And I think when I became a parent and I think about my daughter and obviously I work away and not, you know. But I just”

“Yeah, you know, I mean, one corn is like a satellite town of Liverpool and lots of people, you know, it's kind of like overspoon and lots of people out there in this particular estate that we got housed in was it was built and it was obviously there were so many families that needed to be housed very much like today and it was this like a bizarre architecture. We had these huge round windows and then we left houses and we used to call them the Lego houses because they're like blue and yellow. It was, you know, I suppose at the time it seemed very forward thinking but I think unfortunately you know it was it was one of those environments of which there are still many where you know problems can occur because it's it's kind of set up there are you know there was just opportunities I suppose for people to be quite discreet and there was you know lots of people there who were struggling”

“I think so. I keep looking back, you know, I grew up in the seventeenth and eighties and for me in the environment I was in at that time it was really unusual about parents separated. All of my friendship group they had to me what I saw as their happy family, you know, the family unit. And I longed for them and I didn't have that and it made me different. And obviously, you know, if I forward to today, and I think it's probably rarer to have the family unit, you know, life has changed so much. So that's how it affected me at the time. It made me feel like, yeah, an outsider and a bit strange.”

“Yeah, I think some of it is my personality, but I think some of it was circumstance that I kind of, I don't like to rock the boat. I don't want to cause people problems. I want to always make sure everybody's okay. And I think that's a lot to do with worthiness unworthy country.”

“I know it's so strange to me. It's hard when you're that young, isn't it? Because your own memories are such little tiny snippets and you remember. And we all remember them truth. But for my dad, you know, I did, I put him on a pedestal and I still do. You know, he's my hero and he always will be. But yet he went away and he went away for his own reasons and as an adult completely understand that, you know, and he needed to do that. But yeah, I kind of shut down, I think. And I think I kind of, I have learned in my life, which has been really useful in my career, that I can have these incredibly intense emotional feelings. But there have to be buried Perhaps all sooner suspects.”

“Yeah, I think especially when both my parents should be married and they both really happily remarried and have gone on to have more children and then loved my parents and I love my stepparents and all of my siblings. But for me, I sometimes feel quite alone. And I think that is what propelled me in some of the issues I went on to have in later life, you know, for good and forbidd. You know, I think there's been real benefits to those feelings and to made me very determined, very conscientious, but also it's made me very hard on myself and end up with a perfect perfectionist.”

“Where belongs who I was, how I fitted in to that new dynamic, and you know as I got older and my dad you married and I have this incredible family it's very complicated and it's huge and I have half siblings and step siblings and step parents and it's lovely but I think for me being the only child of my mum and dad sometimes made me feel a little bit spare part And I think that's what made me feel like I had to make myself a place in the world and my own place in the world, and I think also that You and I mean especially going through my teenage years you question all everything, don't you? You know why I'm here and a lot of that for me was like do I deserve to be here? And so I had to make myself worthy of being here.”

“I think it sounded confused to me, I think, as a young person to have my location change to be taken from the family home. And obviously I'm tagging, so I didn't understand. I didn't understand adult relationships. I didn't understand why it was happening. So this little series of events, and then, you know, I have a new, I've got a stepdad, and then I had a new sibling. And then I had stepbrothers. And so there was just quite a lot of big things happening in my little world. And it made me just kind of confused to like,”

“And then after, I think, a couple of years, he went travelling. And yeah, and then he went to work abroad, actually. So I've always seen a lot of my dad, but there were periods of times when he was away. So, yeah, so it was a bit of a shake up, quite early, they're formative years, aren't they? that little you don't think about it'cause he's a child your life is your life. But I think when you start to think about who you are and how you became that person, you start to you just kind of pinpoint maybe little moments that put you on that track.”

“Absolutely, yeah, I mean, my family just still are very working class, you know, through the generations. And my mum and dad were doing, you know, they were doing good. We had a lovely semi-detached house in a nice suburb of, you know, Liverpool. And obviously with my mum leaving dad as today, you know, lots of couples find that it is very difficult to start again. So we were going into a situation where it was hard for mum to make ends meet. So it was, yeah, it was quite a tough area to be groaned at it.”

“So I was living quite comfortably with mum and dad, you know, the kind of huffy architectural family life. And my mum, we left. Me and my mum left and we went to live with my grandparents. And then we went to live in quite a different area. We still know me about 30 minutes away. It was quite different. We went into cancer accommodation.
