Don Truscott 1985
Marital Status: Margaret

Following his marriage to Margaret, Don Truscott also had to take on responsibility for her teenaged daughter Rachel, and the pair quickly clashed. With Rachel refusing to go to school and constantly running away from home, Don and Margaret met with Rachel's father Ian. Margaret was reluctant to listen to anything that Ian had to say, and simply wanted to take Rachel home again, but Daphne Lawrence, who'd been renting Ian's house until he was forced to return home to deal with his daughter, made the adults in the room see just how much their arguing was affecting Rachel. Don explained that he'd been trying with Rachel, but they just seemed to clash constantly, and Margaret admitted that perhaps they were just too similar to live together happily. It was then agreed that Rachel could stay with her father, but when he was working overseas, and during some of the holidays, she would go and stay with her mother and stepfather.
