On BBC Radio 4 there are a number of short pieces of recorded conversations with ordinary folk talking about life. One recent offering was a mum and her 12 year old daughter talking about the domestic violence they had suffered at the hands of the husband and father. The mother recoiled the time when they were in a B&B fearing for their safety they did not go out side for 2 weeks living on small packets of breakfast cereal. The mother said at that time the daughter was strong and was acting as "Mummy" she finished by saying to her daughter "you do know that I love you?" to which the 12 year old said in a childish way "of course I know that silly" Unscripted and true words of love. I cried. |

It shows that all too often young people and children have to take on the adult or even carer parental role. It happens so much more around us than we realise.
Nice heartwarming stuff! |
