Re: What were your parents like?
Both had pretty rough backgrounds themselves.
Father lived in germany until he was about seven, when my grandparents moved to england, and lived in a shitty racist area growing up in a council house. They'd originally been really wealthy until the war, at which point things which they were peripherally involved in caused them to lose pretty much everything (to give an indication my surname is actually the area they originally lived in plus+leader).
Mother grew up middleclass, but with family being very politically involved in the troubles to the point getting kidnapped was a real worry, and their were assassinations attempts on my grandfather. On top of that she was heavily involved in the LGBT scene in Northern Ireland, which was, to say the least, deeply homophobic.
Both were successful workaholics - which was their greatest flaw, and probably contributed a lot to making me who I am today, but they never failed to provide for me, were never angry or punished me without reason, and they gave me a huge amount of freedom.
As long as I could get the grades, and I didn't do anything really stupid I could do what I wanted. Except that would be the main point of contention - I couldn't, as I had undiagnosed learning difficulties for years which led to more then a few arguments, and hurt my confidence. Apart from that, they were always supportive though.
Oh and they've always seemed to me as subversive, and highly literate. Grew up surrounded by books which led to a love of literature, and never felt the pressure to conform to any set norms.
