I think it's probably one of the hardest topics to get to know each other very well. So I wondered if people wanted to share a bit about them? Nothing personal and identifying.

Yennifer is a character from a TV series I like. I'm a big reader and I love fantasy fiction. I love Terry Pratchett, I also love The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. TV I love Doctor Who which starts soon yay! Basically anything fantasy. I think books were my salvation growing up so I've always loved different worlds to escape into. I have 5 children, all living at home currently, most of my friends are already grans. I'm also a teaching assistant and I absolutely love my job, it's so rewarding but not the best pay sadly. Oddly in my field I meet a lot of other adults who have strained relationships with their parents and I wonder if that drives them to be a positive rolemodel for kids. I'm estranged as most of you know, my mother was a cruel, neglectful and uncaring person and nothing I ever did was good enough for her. Leaving that relationship was very hard but very freeing. Estrangement for a while was a big part of who I am but less and less as time goes on. I love cardigan weather and exploring old ruins is my absolutely favourite thing to do. I'm probably a bit of a hippy really x

Would love to know more about you x x x

The name Yennifer has just occurred in the first pages of the book I'm reading "American Dirt", the girl with that name is Mexican so I'm thinking it's the Spanish for Jennifer ? maybe
