this is my mums and grans new venture....
my mothers past is rather confusing to say the least,infact its raterh mre like a soap stroy,infact eastenders did something similar with a ssue nt so many yrs ago nw.
my grandad bless his soul nvr new his mum was his mum until e was thirteen,he then kept this secret through either shame or pride or confusion in the whole thing in himself,from my gran and the from my mum and uncle until he died,once it came out my gran kept it to herself for a while knowing the pain it must have given him and once she tactfully out it to him bout one of his relatvies nly for him to stand at the doorway and say 'drop it i dnt want yo goig further with this topid o.k'and seeing his pain in those button eyes she nvr spoke of it and keept it in her self too,until at his ill diing moment he told her with tears and sorrow it all came out.by this tme and nw many people who would know anything are infact passed away too.
..bt him not knowing who his mum was is nt the half of it,bcause oh my gos here goes.he was actually born by his mum who was very young too young in those days so when pregannst she was whisked away to have hoim and when boinr he was taken in by his actually grnamdother,i know f*ing hell,so all his life until the age of thirteen he thought his mum was his sister and his aunties his sisters two,there was an age gap bt her being such a young mum you wound thave noticed really,and his mum was infact his gran.this has wripped many of the family apart,and nw left my mum and uncle with questions and sorrow and feeling of sadness for what my grandad went through.
he was a sad man because ot it and dealth with it superbly to carry on with life if i may say so myself.apperently there were time shis mum would stand up at the table banging it to tell them somehitng bt she was dragged back to her seat and in the end nt invited to events,oh that poor yonug women.
the father was nvr known,all there was was bitterness to my grnapa as he got money from somwhere every yr.and suspicions too as his real mum befoe the birth worked in lords and manyposh mens manors and houses as a maid,hmmm.
bt mum and gran are ocntiunueing with the family tree,on webiste and all sorts and aprtf from these ded ends they are thorouglhy enjying wirtiing it out and finding little secrets out like hw her paretns werent married when they were going to have her elder sinling oopps they were after lol!!
lets see where it goes and what comes up.
i think memories are bootiful and i could sit all day talking bout the past,her time in the war,all the things we have done together in the past and such things like that.so when she gets out photos or new info and boxes of memories,ithink it brings joy to all of us and some new purspos for granny too so that can only be a good thing..
