The first of my life in The Past will become the present if you don't deal with it

I told you I would share stories of my past so here is one that everyone has heard similar stories of at least once.

I was born in Pretoria,South Africa. My mother and father were not married. When I was born, my father went to “buy milk” and never came back. (And not until recently did I find out why) you see he was already married with 2 kids of his own. He had been seeing my mother secretly for who knows what reason, when he found out she had me he did the obvious thing and panicked. Now I don’t know where he is, who he is, or even the first letter of his name. For I know he could be dead or worse. Now I never met the man so I don’t really care what happens or happened to him. Now my mother was an unwed mother living in her parents house whilst in her late 20s. now I remember her being gone for months at a time. I barely knew my own mother. I was a “happy” fatherless child for my few years of life until I was about six years old. Then the demons of hell broke loose.

Next time: Demons at Six.
