merledogs Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Basically what happened was that his dad went to war in 1939 - to India and then Burma to fight the Japanese. His mum discovered she was pregnant shortly after he left and rather than burden him with another mouth to feed (already had my dad and his younger brother), went to a backstreet abortionist. She got septicemia and died (I was always told she died in childbirth). My dad was 4 at the time and the only memory he has of her is sitting by her bedside when she was ill and waiting to go to hospital just before she died. The only time he saw his dad during the whole war was when he came home for 14 days leave. He was in Burma with the Ghurkas when the war ended, but because he was a regular soldier rather than a conscript he wasn't allowed to come home. He died from a heart attack while playing football in May 1946. My dad was taken in by my dad's parents but eventually both he and his younger brother were put into an orphanage. I don't even want to begin to think about what that was like in those days So they were all in their way victims of the second world war Edited November 11, 2015 by merledogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 It is indeed. Children, as Suzeanna said, were pushed from pillar to post during and after the war and the fallout lasted for years. Some ended up in terrible places, some were taken into care and bunged off to Australia to be used as slave labour even when they had a parent living. I know some horrendous stories concerning the parents of people I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Jazz, I suspect you may have a strong gravity area in your house. Things get sucked down to the floor. Happens here too. Still no word from the solicitor at the bottom of the very short chain. Mine will be chasing them up today. I felt so much stronger that I was able to drive over to Buxton today to meet my friends from N Wales before they emigrate to Austria. They are also held up by red tape. Their house is sold, their belongings with the removals firm and their animals in boarding. They have vacated and handed over their house so are in a holiday cottage until tomorrow. I said if necessary they can come and stay here until they can move, and if I end up moving before they can, they can move to new house with me until they are sorted. Oddly enough, our house stories have mirrored each other. We each found what seemed the perfect house, did more research and had to withdraw, then found a better one very quickly. And are both now held up for no reason that anyone can see. Both the solicitors causing the hold up have not answered calls. But I am in easier position as my buyer has not moved in.

Jazz Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 the only things not gravitating to the floor, is the flooring! the housing ass wont take responsibility for their flooding causing then to be a rollercoaster, so I have to sort them through my insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
