"My parents pushed me to be the best version of myself. I grew up in very stable, secure, family surroundings. I remember when they started to realise that I would look past them rather than at them, and being sent to the specialist up in Belfast and my mother crying. Looking at it from my perspective as a parent now, it's not what you want to hear for your child."
