Mum and dad got married because they were deeply in love. Their marriage was
like a fairy tale come true. Its magic is still present today. My two older sisters and
I love being at home with loving, supportive but severe parents when it seems
necessary.
Thanks to their wonderful union, we are happy, easy-going teenagers who lean
on them for support and wisdom.

Family is O.K when both parents see eye to eye.That wasn’t the case with my
parents.They fought a lot, actually they were always fighting over money, friends,
holidays...
Life was miserable. Eventually, they got a divorce and I went to live with my
mother. I see dad at weekends and things are much better.

I didn’t know who my father is. My mother never told me, nor does she react
pleasantly when I want to talk about him. She doesn’t have many friends and we
seem to be always on the move. I spent the first four years of my life in an
orphanage because my mother couldn’t afford to keep me.
Now we are living together again because she has a fixed job and can afford to
support me. I really love her, but sometimes, I wish I had a dad.
