Yes Steve it follows a pattern regularly , that’s the problem my dad didn’t have the guts to stand up to her, maybe if he had I wouldn’t have the issues I have had for 25 yrs so much our parents have to answer to .
Lol pity we don’t live near one another a good chat would do us good
If you ever travel north of York Jenny shout out, I would love to meet you, ( somewhere neutral and safe of course) Steve
