Am now engaging in my hobby,,,trying to learn music, which was also banned. He didn't like the noise I made , it would never get any better without practise and it is neither violin or bagpipes before you ask!

midgedude · 06/02/2021 14:24

He was a little controlling ?

NeedToKnow101 · 06/02/2021 14:32

So glad you got away Midge.. My dad was very controlling and abusive. My mum escaped him when we were all little.. we lived with family on their farm in Northumberland for a year. Unfortunately though she went back to him. He hadn't changed (as they all promise).

I was motivated by what I was teaching my then young daughter

But it's hard because your self worth and confidence is taken away . I must have had a stubborn streak somewhere

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/02/2021 14:47

Genuine big hugs to you all.

I wish I could proper hug you all for real.

Catching up on thread after a long walk and typing this with damp eyes

MNerGoneRogueAgain · 06/02/2021 14:49

Midge, you've done really well. It takes so much courage to turn your life upside down. Esp if there's a DC in the mix. Well done.
I hope you feel freer and better now than you ever did then.

Honeyroar · 06/02/2021 14:58

I feel like buying you those albums myself after reading your story Midge!

Needtoknow have you got heating sorted yet? I’m worried about you with this weather front coming in.

Fleamaker123 · 06/02/2021 15:02

We're stronger than we realise Midge. But it takes guts to leave, I hope you feel proud... and happy now xx

midgedude · 06/02/2021 15:38

Deeply serious now... this is the band he got himself tickets to see... I was told I didn't like them !

Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail

Honeyroar · 06/02/2021 15:59

Don’t you see that I
I’m really worth a try
And I say to you
I know just what to do
(80s)

NeedToKnow101 · 06/02/2021 16:04

Heatings not getting fixed till Tuesday! 😱😱😱😱 but we got heaters and wine so all good. ❤️

NeedToKnow101 · 06/02/2021 16:06

This one's for Midge.. love this band too

Well you didn't wake up this morning 'cause you didn't go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red
80s

midgedude · 06/02/2021 16:06

Any emergency heaters to be had ?

Honeyroar · 06/02/2021 16:07

And as she left she gave that smile
As if they were still lovers

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 06/02/2021 16:07

Thanks Rogue. I knew underneath that hard exterior there was a soft heart.....😃
In the (slightly bastardised) words of Beyoncé- WE ARE SURVIVORS!!

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 06/02/2021 16:09

DD has come to me, given me a HUGE hug and apologised. Kinda almost makes it worth it. Funnily enough DH did too. Wonder what they're up to 🤨

midgedude · 06/02/2021 16:09

Take it!

Fleamaker123 · 06/02/2021 16:10

Human League, Louise

Crank up those heaters NeedToKnow101 😬

midgedude · 06/02/2021 16:10

Human league I think there
I think I thought it was called as if they were. Still lovers though

Fleamaker123 · 06/02/2021 16:12

That's lovely Dexter 😊

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 06/02/2021 16:13

See, I love this thread because as well as you all being totally fab I get reminded of songs I'd long forgotten.

Here's some lyrics:

I love your from the bottom of my pencil case
I love the way you never ask me why
I love to write about each wrinkle on your face
And I love you 'till my fountain pen runs dry

Fleamaker123 · 06/02/2021 16:15

One of mine from a few days ago.

When you hear the music, you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas

80's

midgedude · 06/02/2021 16:15

Beautiful south

Which I would have called pencil case

Is the theme songs I don't know the name of?
