    Hi everybody, thanks for taking the time to read.

    I will give a bit of background, I am 29 year old male just about to turn 30.i work as a personal trainer and i have another income from a small business i set up, the training is going really well and the small business brings a side wage, all in all i can make a living from the two.

    I am single at the moment, having gone through a break up a year ago which really knocked me back, I was devastated at the time but have came to terms with it since, I really worked hard the last few years and things for the first time in my life are seeming to come together, up until last year i had bad social anxiety but i really worked on it over the last while and last year i spoke in front of 25 people at a fitness, so things have really improved the last while.

    this is were i need some opinions of other people, i come from a home were my two parents are alcholics,my father was really really bad, not physically abusive but he would argue with my mother, fall around, end up in hospital, turn up at my gaa matches drunk, the list goes on.
    i never could invite friends over,i never had a 21st or other social events family's would have.my father passed away 3 years ago now from a heart attack and I was the one who found him dead, from then on i realised how much my mam was like my dad, she drinks nearly every night and stumbles around at 2 am.she is nearly 67,i don't want to be single and be the one looking after my mam,over the years i have begged for them to stop but it never changed. All my friends have girlfriends and houses, all my life I felt different because of my childhood and now as i approach 30 i feel like the odd one out again. I just want to lead a normal life but feel like i have to much baggage to meet someone or is that all in my head..
    sorry for the long winded post.
    Thanks for reading
