Umm we're Irish. We left during the Troubles because my grandparents were worried that they'd either have their house bombed or be shot if they stayed. Marriage between Catholics and Protestants was frowned on in certain circles so England looked safer. The Troubles left a very deep scar, people don't forget about it. We need to learn from their experiences.

Than Belfast for a mixed faith couple? Definitely. It's a lot better since the Good Friday agreement though. One of the best things Tony Blair ever did.

My mother is strict, my father isnt strict. I was born into a wealthy family and around rich people/kids and they are full of themselves and like to buy everything. My family and i are completely different, i always felt isolated because everyone around are different as if i am from a different planet. My mother and grandparents like to force their ideas on me while my father and brothers want me to live freely, so i am always in the middle of two different ideas.

My mother and i always have fights. My mother wanted me to marry a monster but she didnt succeed. I still never forget that.

So now where do u live???
Born in Ireland in 1948. I am one of 16 children. My mother was married at 14. Birth control wasn’t allowed by the Catholic Church. She was poor, illiterate and ignorant. We all ended up in care, one after the other.
My number in the orphanage was 96. Names weren’t used.

We had names, but there were many of us. We had numbers attached to our tunics. The nuns weren’t the brightest. Most of them came from poor homes in Ireland. Entering religion was ther escape from poverty.
