Starting conditions
The future model Heather Mills was born on January 12, 1968 in the family of a military man and a nurse. Parents by that time lived in the small town of Aldershot, located in the south-east of England. The child grew up in a nervous environment. My father went in for sports and photography. Mother played the piano and learned foreign languages. They fought regularly in front of three children. Pets were the only outlet for the children: cats, dogs and various birds.
When the girl was barely nine years old, her mother abandoned everything and left home for a new lover. The children remained in the care of their father, who suffers from bouts of aggression after a shell shock, which he received during his military service. After a while, her father was convicted of petty fraud and Heather moved to London, where she settled with her mother and her stepfather. She somehow got an education in high school and went to work as a salesman in a jewelry store.
