Stace Don, 36, was taken into foster care as a toddler after being neglected by her parents. For five years, she lived an idyllic life, believing her foster parents were her real parents. But a chance encounter with her biological father, Nigel Taylor, shattered her happiness, leading to a shocking life of lies and abuse. Stace fell pregnant to him aged 18 and, despite her loathing for her father, was determined to keep her baby….
Standing at the window, behind the safety of the curtain, I scanned the street anxiously. “Who are you looking for Mummy?” asked my daughter, Kadie. “What’s the matter?”. “It’s nothing,” I smiled. How could I tell Kadie I was terrified of my own father finding out where we lived? Because my father was her biological father too. And weighing heavy on my heart was the knowledge that one day, when she was older, I’d have to tell her the truth. “Honestly, everything’s fine,” I insisted, slipping my arm around her. But I didn’t take my eyes off the window.
Until the age of seven, I’d led a perfectly normal life, living with my family in Stockport, Cheshire. And then one day, at the park, I met a strange man who claimed he was my father. “Hello Lou-Lou, I’m your dad,” he said. I was confused. Lou was my middle name, so how did he know that?.
Life-changing news. A few days after meeting the man, a social worker explained I had been taken away from my birth parents, aged two. The family I lived with now were my foster parents. The man from the park, Nigel Taylor, was my biological father. Numb with shock, I realised my life was about to change.
