Agree 100%, I lived with my mother and her partner from the age of 5 to 16, and was raised in a very good manner! Parents can do all they like, but it gets to a time whre its UP TO YOU which way you go!

On the other hand, I didn't see my dad until I was 10, (He was in the Shuvvel), and when he came out, He had his own Bar on Newcastle Quayside, but the lure of Alcohol was too much for him too resist!

I like to think I dont take liberties with people(how my mother raised me), BUT as I have got older I have gotten more like my Old Man! Before he got out of the shuvvel I didnt have a male role model, so when I got to know him I followed suit!!
