Liam Gallagher

You had married Liam in 1995. You were both young, in love and you supposed it was a bit irrational. Despite the impulsiveness of the decision, you managed to keep the marriage stable for years. It was difficult, strained by the hardship of being married to a rock ‘n roll star and a serial cheater. Eventually, due to his infidelity, you filed for a divorce. It was a shock to no one. However, what was more of a shock was that you discovered that you were pregnant with his baby just three months after the divorce. Just your luck.

Now, you had a three year old baby boy named Lennon, spitting image of his father. You loved him with all your heart, he was just an angel. However, you and Liam were still trying to figure out this whole co-parenting thing. It was especially difficult being a divorced couple.

After school had finished, you had to drop Lennon at his dads. You waited at his door step, the little boy clutching your hand with his tiny fingers.

Lennon was on the autism spectrum, which made him incredibly difficult to manage sometimes, especially when you had to coparent him. He didn’t like change in routine, so he had to know exactly when he was going to stay with Liam or you at all times or else he had a meltdown. Planning was difficult because of this. There could be no changes of mind. It was very tiring, with all the emotional outbursts and sensory issues, but you were trying your best, and doing considerably well. You somehow also always managed to look my best despite these challenges, which was in character for you.

You did get a little sad, often, though. It seemed that Lennon always favoured his dad over his mum, which you knew wasn’t his fault, but it still hurt a little to see him run to dad whenever he was dropped off and to hear him ask for daddy every single second of the day.
