Lulu, thank you for the joy you spread with your voice. Your Mum did a great job on raising you.💕🇮🇪

I believe that it is important to learn about your family history as much as possible. Because it helps to better understand family members and why they turned out the way they did. We all have struggles in life, but for some others they had to face extremely difficult situations. Everyone deserves to know the truth about where they come from.

I agree too. I was raised from birth to six years old by my then single (divorced) Mum, living with her parents... Aged six, we moved to my Mum's man friend's house (he was a widower) and they married s few months later and stayed together til his death a week before Christmas 1980... (I was 27 then) At first, I got on with my stepdad okay, but later, I came to despise him (no need to explain why, just to say I did not mourn his passing). I stayed with Mum off and on between working away from home periodically til I got married (aged 33) but I never knew, or could find out who my real father was... All I knew was that Mum's first husband ("a fisherman from The Netherlands") was my - older, by nearly nine years - half-sister's father, and at my birth, I was Registered in her surname, _not_ my biological father's name. Mum wouldn't tell me - or my sister - who my real father was - only that "he was a 'civil servant' and more intelligent than * _your_ * (*my sister's*) father!" (Somewhat unkindly, I thought) So, _that_as 'they' say, is that!!🤔😐

I had heard how awful and domineering our paternal grandmother was, but was not given much context around her behaviour. We'd heard that she didn't consider our mother 'worthy' of our father - this lead to our parents emigrating to Australia to get away from her. It has only been fairly recently that I found out just how awful our grandmother was and was horrified. The effect that her nastiness has had on our family crosses generations. It certainly goes a long way to explaining why our father was the way that he was. It is both sad and enlightening.

Very sad. Hard times especially when the parents weren’t stable. Lulu is lovely. Bless her mum.

And what about the three kids they kept? I'm guessing they had a way worse life than lulu's mum x

My heart ached for Lulu, what a shocking thing to find out, luckily her mother had good carers finally. It sounds like her mother never lost the sadness of abandonment😪💔

Orphans in good standing as in not in trouble with the law, were allowed to join the Royal Navy Cadets. My great uncle lost his parents in 1902 and 1906. After joining the Royal Navy Cadets the training he received led to a 12 year career in the Royal Navy.

Both my grandmothers were orphans. My British Granny went through something similar but worse than this...

Lulu used to have a thick Glaswegian accent. In the 60s she had to go to elocution classes. This is why she speaks the way she does. There are still smatterings of a Scottish accent in there.

"Disposed of " didn't mean what Lulu imagines. It just means " how this matter was handled." As for willy nilly having babies, contraception was virtually unavailable and almost unknown amongst the working class at the time

Mine does, too. I left Scotland 55 years ago. Lived in America and England. When I'm in Scotland, the Highlands, I speak as if I never left. I also write in Scottish. But elsewhere, I obviously speak so I can be understood. Some people do detect a slight Scottish accent. Actually, in the 50's, our headmaster told us we couldn't use Scottish or Gaelic words in class because the world was opening up to us all. No more: aye, nuh, cannae, winnae, didnae, fasch, fit - what. Spicen - speaking. Cloot - cloth. Ye - you get the jist. 😅

Sad. Lulu was clearly very close with her mum & clearly her mum did not repeat history and she sounds like she was happy.

On paper it reads badly..but times were hard back then, who knows what was going on in the family household.

Lulu has always come across as a person that would never do anything wrong. You know just a nice person. But I have to say I didn't feel that when it all came out that her friend ( and a close friend) Lulu dated her friend's husband. To me ex husband ex boyfriend friends don't do that . And then when you're doing interviews and your friend's name is brought up you pretend you don't remember. And this is true they were best friends you just don't do that sorry girl code
