The Father I Had by Martin Townsend
Martin Townsend grew up with a father, Ron, who had suffered recurring mental illness. At the slightest emotional trigger he could turn from a loving and compassionate dad - adored by his family and friends - to a restless, dead-eyed depressive or spiteful, bullying monster. Here, he paints a painful portrait of life with his dad.
