We often talk about the impact our parents have on us growing up but what happens when one of them isn’t there?
For Shirley Ballas, growing up without a father didn’t just affect her childhood. It influenced her confidence, her relationships and how she saw herself - in ways she only began to understand much later in life.

This is for anyone who’s felt the quiet impact of someone missing.
