Can't resist this one!!
Moan--- Both sons had a stormy adolescence, one having had a hard time with his new stepmother.( They were apart for 10 years, eldest lived with his dad) They spent the next few years catching up on all the fighting they had missed, and both left school at 16 with no qualifications.
Gloat.... David the youngest, got married 2 weeks ago. Both are doing what they want in life, and both have what I never had, and that is self-confidence, and I was the one that made sure that they knew (and know) that they are loved and valued.
I am so proud of my sons. Hwyl, Bron.
