Hi everyone
I have an idea for a fic but before I run with it I just wanted to double check something with the hive mind! As far as I can remember, there is no canon explanation for what happened to Listers adoptive mother - we know his dad died at 6 and between 11-13 he was living with his gran and after that ended up in an orphanage school but I don't think we're ever told exactly why? Have I missed something or is there a generally accepted fanon explanation? Answers on a postcard please...
