...left alone in house with parents at work and older brother away and when woke up would lock myself in bathroom til i heard my grandmother arrive.. but i was too young in those days to even tell time and had no clock anyway... and came home from school very young and neighbour told my mum i was sitting on my bedroom windowsill with my feet hanging outside, on the 2nd floor! i thought all kids were left alone! my parents loved me and played with me they didnt drink or whatever, but now i reflect on it, and have a family , I am still a "loner"
