Tears blinded her eyes as a new surge of emotion swept her. A muffled moan of grief arose in her throat‚ and her head throbbed

Mum’s got a problem. So does Dad. It’s not my problem‚ though. At least‚ this is what I tell myself. I never got much‚ as a kid. Like toys and stuff. We couldn’t afford them. Dad couldn’t hold down a job‚ and mum spent all the cash on alcohol. I thought we were normal‚ until I started school. All the other kids had posh lunch boxes with matching lids. Inside them they had a ripe banana‚ a packet of chips‚ and a luminous brown bread sandwich with Nutella or peanut butter. Something diverse every
