My name is Jennifer and I’m 42 years old. I have two grown-up daughters (20 and 22 at the time of writing) and two grown-up stepdaughters (19 and 21). The last one of my girls just left the house to live on her own. Fifteen years ago, my best friend died of leukaemia. My husband […]
Seeing Simon
When I was 13, I became friends with another boy in my village who was two years younger. As was not uncommon at the time, we were both still getting our bottoms smacked when our parents felt it necessary. Less common was that for both of us, the main disciplinarian was our mother. With me, […]
