Daughters story:
One day he confided in me that he had a son who was 3yrs old.
That is why he had returned to Adelaide where I met him from the Northern Territory where he had been living with his dad and step mother for a short time. I was shocked but I tried to understand and believed it wasn't his fault that this girl fell pregnant.
It was getting closer to the new term starting at college and I knew I had to talk to Marc about our life in Byron bay long term or maybe moving to Sydney where college seemed easier to get to and my dad was living with my new step mum. Money was very tight and I felt I had no control over any of it. The pay checks would just disappear and soon we were given a eviction notice as rent was not paid. I told Marc I wanted the rent given to me each week to pay as I was so embarrassed. Next door a young couple lived and had just brought twins home. They were so cute and I thought it was lovely seeing them all out together on the weekends. I loved babies and small children but wasn't sure why as I had nothing to do with them growing up as there were no younger kids in our family bar me. I was steering towards wanting to study child care as my elective in community services. Marc continued to talk about having kids one day with me but I never really thought much of the idea yet. I wanted to be set up better and at least finish college. I learnt later that Marc's mother had left the family when Marc was young and I don't think he ever got over it. I feel this is why he would cling to women in his life and spoke of having a child with them just to secure their place with him.
