I had a very angry father and was disconnected from my family.

My parents were divorced when I was three, and both my father and mother moved back into the homes of their parents. I spent the school year with my mother, and the summers with my dad.

My parents divorced after 25 years of marriage.

So the news that divorced fathers are to be denied a legal right to a relationship with their children, in the long overdue review of family law published this week, fills me with horror and despair.

My father was gone when I was three years old.

My mother and father are still together after forty something years. I lived in one place till I was 6. I lived in another place from when I was 6 till I was 17.

My parents had a difficult divorce.

After the break up of the municipality and the loss of his income my father lost health and spirits.

I had a very difficult relationship with my father, which ended up okay, but there were many difficult years.

I think my mom threatened to put me up for adoption a few times.
