DEAR DEIDRE: IN the middle of an argument, my mum told me my dad didn’t want me.

Apparently, he was desperate for her to have an abortion.

I’m 21 and recently moved back in with my mum after graduating from university.

It’s been a struggle – she hates my stuff being all over the house, and I hate being treated like a child.

We’ve argued pretty much every day for the past six months.

But I was completely floored when she announced my dad never wanted me.

Before she walked away, she said she should have had an abortion “like he wanted”.

Every problem gets a personal reply, usually within 24 hours weekdays.

You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page.

My dad left when I was three and we haven’t spoken since, so I have no way of checking if this is true.

This has made me feel utterly worthless. I’m crying every day.
