I don’t really know what my father was doing at age 31 but he has had addiction since before I was born (and still does), and before I was 2 years old we left and I grew up with a single mother and the other close and extended family including both sides of my family tree.
my mother was a student and a mother of two children; my half-brother and me. She had an addiction to nicotine but otherwise okay, we have strong bond still. And our first dog (a Sheltie), came into our lives then also. And she has quit a long time (decades) ago smoking, that’s a very good job done on her part ❤
Btw they are both born in 1968 so it was around the same time: 1999/2000.
