NAKEDMUDPEOPLE: This is a good start. May you and your estranged son, fill the void in your lives.
Estranged?
We're not estranged - his mother, my second wife, got rid of me when she was five months pregnant and I only found out he was born twelve days after the event (he was born slightly premature and I'd respected her wish for me not to telephone her and cause her stress).
She didn't even want to tell me the sex of the baby!
'Robert' she told me:
'You just happen to be the biological and legal father'
Shit!
Well, last week I spent doing my best to help my eldest son - he's unemployed and suffering from depression and feeling sorry for himself. He's better than when I got out there to see him but has a long way to go to regain his self-esteem and feel good about life............ what the heck is going on these days when even young people suffer depression in increasing numbers whilst in my time all you got was a good kick up the arse and told to get on with life!?!?
