"He said he deserved to be happy. She said my dad was an arsehole. Neither of them asked how I was."
After the divorce, everything changes. A small rented house becomes home, but it doesn't feel like one. While Dad moves on with his new girlfriend, too busy chasing happiness to notice anything else, Mum starts drinking more, partying harder, and pulling her kids into lies they don't understand.
There's never enough food in the fridge, but always wine on the table. Shoplifting becomes a game. Crying becomes a performance. And no one seems to care - or even look closely enough to see what's really happening.
This is the story of what it's like to grow up in the middle of two adults who only see themselves.
A raw and emotional look at childhood neglect, emotional abuse, and the silence that follows when no one's paying attention.
