“We were both sort of bowled over by the fact that we were married. It wasn't a question of 'Have we done the right thing?' It was all perfectly natural that we should be together. But John didn't get a real chance to be first a real husband or later, a real father. Once he got on the Beatles bangwagon he couldn't get off, even if he wanted to.” IfsShouldFirstsRealDoneFactsWantedTogetherFatherNaturalChanceHusbandMarriedRight ThingPerfectly NaturalReal Father Author:Cynthia Lennon
“I was proud, excited and a little frightened. It was all taking off so quickly…the more successful the boys were, the further away from me John felt. I was getting used to being a mum, but most of the time I felt like a single parent…it was hard not to feel frustrated with being stuck at home. I loved Julian, but I knew that if I hadn’t had him I could have seen much more of John and that was hard…I felt shut off from the life he was living. After years at his side, I was excluded, just as it was all happening.” IfsFeelsYearsLittlesHardHomeUsedFeltParentSidesBoysSuccessfulProudHappeningsExcitedStuckFrightenedMumFrustratedExcludedSingle Parent Author:Cynthia Lennon
