3 truths of mother by Alistair Beattie

Another episode gone awry - much like the life of the author.

At last... A new episode and that out of order.

Almost a filler episode. This installment replaces the intended episode on Croydon council and the laws on children in care. 

The last night of our mother's life. 

An unintended installment.

The lead up to the last night in the hospice. Allison's absence, Andrew's struggle to get there before it is too late. And Shona, maybe unfairly - being in the way.

A prologue to episode 06.

In this episode we get a chapter from the book and a new piece about Shona.

Andrew tells us a little about his search for his family, further reactions to Allison's social service file and needing to know.

Last part of episode 04

In "what went wrong?" I try to dive into the symptoms, history and a little of the psychology of our mother - and as always get lost. 

Part 02 continues exploring why things went wrong for our mother and ultimately us.

In episode 4 we try to look at our mother and get closer to her truth, what was it that went wrong in her life?

This is a teaser for episode 04. Expected release date 27.08.19

In the second part of episode 02, Alistair looks at cptsd and avoids as much as possible talking about his relationship with his mother.

In the third and final part of episode 01, we get bogged down and lose our way. 

In part 02 of Episode 01, we delve further into the inconsistencies in Allison's file.

First episode of 3 truths of mother, where we attempt to make sense of what little information we have from Croydon Council social services.

Final, that is to say first prologue. Andrew gives us his back story and we are now ready to start our journey.

In the second prologue you get to hear from Allison. Though not quite a back story, she sets up her own narrative for later episodes.

Part 2 of Alistair's back story

In these prologues you will be given the back story of each of the children of Susan Alice Pudney, formerly Susan Alice Beattie neé Jonklaas.
