I’M BACK….. And Now, The Truth About Me.

I’m BACK…… G'day folks, that’s right I'm back.
I see some new names around (I guess that does not mean new people, just new accounts/names maybe), and of course some old names as well.
Yes it is about time I told a few home truths about myself,
Firstly, I have a criminal conviction, what for? Ok here goes,
At the age of 15 (yes those rebellious teenage years) I was caught unlicensed driving a motor car, I was also charged with failing to stop as requested by police, speeding and resisting arrest when I finally did stop. So now you all know, you can make up your own mind about me. Am I a CRIMINAL? What if I told you (and this is 100% the truth), that the reason I was driving a motor car at that age without a licence and I was speeding and I failed to stop as the police requested and that I did resist arrest was because my mother (may she be still resting in peace) had suffered a heart attack whilst driving me home from sports training. Back then there were no mobile phones, and I had no idea what to do. I did try and stop some cars, but none stopped, so my thought was to save my mother, I moved her to the passenger side (it was a bench seat) and I quickly raced off to the nearest hospital some 15 mins away.
When I got to the hospital I parked in the underground ambulance section thinking that doctors, nurses or someone would be there, and they were.
The police pulled up seconds after me and tried to arrest me as I was explaining what had happened to my mum to one of the nurses.
Am I still the CRIMINAL you thought I was before my explanation?
Thankfully my mother survived, it was a mild heart attack, but a heart attack nonetheless. Unfortunately my mother did not survive the next heart attack 6 years later.
I was still charged and had to appear in court, I was found guilty and suspended from getting my licence for 6 months after I would normally have been allowed to. I was given a 12 month good behaviour bond and fined $630 all up. I was told that there would be no conviction if I were to stay out of trouble for the 12 months I was on a good behaviour bond ( and I was never in trouble again), but to this day that offence still appears on a police record somewhere.
Secondly after only 10 years of marriage I found my wife wanting to divorce me, maybe I wasn't a good husband. Now you are thinking typical man what a poor husband he was. Now what if I said, that after 10 years of marriage and 3 children aged 8,7 &2 that my wife decided that she wanted to be single again? Well that’s true also, but what if I were to mention that I alone (with no help from anyone, her, her family, or the government, and I did not have any of my own family to rely on) raised those 3 children all by myself until they were adults.
The 2 eldest being Girls and the youngest a Boy, were not wanted by their mother. (This also is 100% true) Would people then see me differently? Ask my children if I am a CRIMINAL.
I don't need a medal or adulation and I am not asking for any such thing, only to explain a bit more about myself. (my mother and my children have MY adulation as it were these 4 important people in my life that have taught me never to judge anyone unless ALL FACTS are known and PROVED), (I would have included my dad but he passed away before my 11th birthday).
