Background

John is the father of Shaun and he lived an ordinary lifestyle and was happily married. He had a good job which provided for his family. John as a child had a tough upbringing in rough areas of Manchester and he didnt want Shaun to grow up surrounded by violence and drugs.

They moved to the suburbs of Manchester and John continued in his role at work. Shaun was doing well at school, getting good grades and not getting into trouble. Everything was looking good for the family and Shaun was expected to do well in his GCSEs.

However, things began to change and John was beginning to notice that Shaun was being his normal self. He was staying out late at night and began smoking and when John spoke to him to try and help him, Shaun got very angry and caused a lot of stress between the two. This came at a bad time as shortly after his wife died.

John began drinking heavily to try and take his mind of the death of his wife and became quite violent, ruining any relationship between him and his son. He lost his job and any money he had was being spent of drink, providing no support for Shaun. This resulted in Shaun becoming something his father didnt want him to become.
