Hey, I'm a 25 year old father to a five year old girl whom I adore.
I think I'm in an odd situation where the roles in my family are reversed from what is considered "traditional". I'm effectively a house-husband (although we're not yet married). My partner and I have been together for 7 and a half years now and have been through more difficult times than I can care to remember yet we soldier on.
She is currently training as a Student Nurse and is in her third and final year, I'm incredibly proud of both my partner and our daughter. Its been a fight to get us here but its been worth it thus far, you see I was originally working when our daughter was born but the missus suffered from server post-natal depression as well as grievance related depression and I left work to help care for the pair of them. When she became well enough we considered our options and she decided she wanted to enter the world of health care, so we got her into college.
Now she's approaching the end of her training I've begun furthering my own education via an Open University Creative Writing course (as I'd like to be a Journalist of some description) which I've balanced with writing for and maintaining a videogames news and reviews website with a couple of people with whom I struck up acquaintances with via other forums.
I found this place via a poster in the school office at my daughters lower school and thought I'd give it a shot, it sure beats having more than just games or Arsenal to talk about all the time 😉
