A year or so later, we returned and lived in a very deprived area in the city. My father, an old soldier, was an alcoholic and a heavy smoker, who smoked in the region of a thousand cigarettes a week; the cupboards were bare and family life broke down. My mother had little or no money for food, or even necessary items. I became something of a problem child and at around the age of ten, was convicted of theft for stealing food. I was put in the care of an extremely tough children's home until the age of sixteen. Because of the problems in my early life, I never did smoke or drink, and at the age of twenty-six, I married, and subsequently, my wife and I went into fostering which we did for many years, along with our six children. We finally retired over forty-five years later. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Scriptor House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50870875914514,"sku":"9798886922646","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_6a6586d0-4ff2-4152-975e-9f3c45624163.jpg?v=1737817576","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-ultimate-nightmare-9798886922646","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
