Seven years after my graduation day, I had failed on an epic scale. An exceptionally short-livedmarriage had imploded, and I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it is possible to be in modernBritain, without being homeless. The fears my parents had had for me, and that I had had for myself,had both come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew. That period ofmv life was a dark one. and I had no idea how far the tnnel extended. and for a lono time. anv lioht |
