Family

Some people are born into loving families, but that wasn’t my lot. Adolph Hitler’s destruction led to my own lifelong Quest of the Heart; to undo the damage of my war smashed birth family while seeking to build a new one and to heal the hole in my heart. The path hasn’t been smooth and I failed again and again; but no matter what came I never gave up.

I got married aged 22 with little idea how to be a good husband or a good parent but I knew that my own parental role models were of no use and I would be better off to do the opposite of most things they had unwittingly shown me. I learned most of what I knew about marriage from watching movies and TV and those lessons were idealised, glamorised Hollywood versions, far from reality. My marriage collapsed and divorce drove not only my wife and I apart but also separated me from my two children and four grandchildren. 

Now in my second marriage I feel I have finally attained sufficient maturity and experience and have a good relationship. Thanks Penny.
