Radio Episode 138: I grew up without my father

<p>"I don’t exactly have the typical family. I have a mum, a dad, a stepdad and stepmum, one half-sister, two half-brothers, and five stepsisters. Now you’re probably thinking, how on earth does that work? Wait while I fill you in on the background.</p> <p>I was born in December 1995 in the small town of Maryborough, Queensland. I think my mum was about 19 and my dad, 20. I lived in a caravan park for about three months before my mum had to leave. My dad was into smoking and alcohol (maybe even drugs) and didn’t help mum, so mum left.</p> <p>She wrote a note while my dad was out and left it for him to read when he got back. Mum rang her Aunty Lynaire and Uncle Terry, who lived in New South Wales and they didn’t hesitate to come and pick us up and bring us home.</p> <p>                          ___________________________________</p> <p>Tune in to listen to today's episode.</p> <p><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/dp/0645431907/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1651209044&sr=8-1"> <strong>BUY GISELLE BOOK </strong></a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.gigistorylibrary.com.au/giselle-the-secret-of-the-locket-sneak-peek/"> <strong>Read the first 5 chapters of Giselle</strong></a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.gigistorylibrary.com.au/product-category/ebook-library/"> <span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>eBook library</strong></span></a></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><a href= "https://www.gigistorylibrary.com.au/girls-of-charlotte-bay/">Meet the girls of Charlotte Bay</a></span></p> <p><a href= "https://music.apple.com/us/artist/jenn-johnson/1494529006">Artist of the month: Jenn Johnson</a> </p> <p><strong>Verse of the month: Psalm 46:1</strong> God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.</p> <p>Keep in the loop by signing to our GIGI Notes <a href= "https://www.gigigirlstories.com/contact/">HERE</a></p> <p><strong>DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE </strong></p> <p><strong>Hosts: Esther & Steph</strong></p> <p><strong>Mix & effects: Stephanie Giselle</strong></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;
