    No at school the embarrassment was caused by my father picking me up from school (when he could remember) in a white transit van with SNUFFY GARRAT THE URBAN COWBOY! written across both sides of it....

    It wasn't cool to be the offspring of country singers 30 years ago....:rolleyes:

    :rotfl::rotfl:Thank God it wasnt just me that suffered....

    my Dad bought a decommissioned Ambulance, painted it bright blue and where the word AMBULANCE used to be he painted the words ARTHUR LVS NORMA :o

    .........he has not improved with age:rolleyes:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Well better than boring and suburban like me and mine ! :o

    Yeh and mine

    My mum came to everything I was in, plays, choir, etc and the only thing my dad came to was my swimming competitions which he pushed me into and I got to a stage where I was so worried about losing and letting him down that I would be nearly sick before every race. I think that insecurity has carried on with me into my adult life, as I spend my life worrying about what my scorg thinks and making sure he is ok and trying to please him that I am miserable a lot of the time.

    oops, sorry guys, didn't mean that to come out, everyone's got their own problems without listening to mine ranting on

    thank you for the compliment Pooky. I know you and Sammy are talking sense. I wish I could think like that

    I think I am missing out by feeling like this. I don't date, I barely go out and all my clothes come from M and S.

    I think i need to prove to myself once and for all that if I was "thin" my life either would or would not be better. Hope that makes sense.

    Until I do that I will be stuck here going "if only" or "I wish" which I hate doing.

    You know you lot certainly make me get stuff out of my head.

    Pookie,

    I know you are right but I fight daily with 'appearances' and what is real life.

    I know I'm not a bad person but in the past couple of years I've done some things I am not proud of and whilst it appears I have a wonderful happy home life, my struggle with how I look is directly related to 'other issues' between my DH and I. It is so intrinsicly (sp?) intertwined that I feel I am fighting a losing battle.

    I know there is so much more to how you think, feel and look than you're saying - but don't feel you are alone in anything.
    You are all so lovely, and it must be frustrating to hear me whinge, I am sorry, I'll shut up now xxxx

    This is the place to tell people how you feel. No need to shut up. :grouphug:
