CRUEL TO BE KIND

About the Book

I wish to share with you my journey through physical, sexual and mental abuse both whilst growing up and within the domestic abuse during my marriages and how I found the courage to leave despite the challenges and lack of confidence. I want to share the traumatic arrivals of my children each having their own story and the challenges of parenthood in a turbulent marriage. By drawing a line under my old life and the realisation of how much history had repeated itself, was truly a difficult lesson that I was to learn No longer could I think about what had been, or what will be. Freedom was precious to me but it came with a price. It came with the realization of how much I hid from myself. The realisation that I had become a prisoner in my own world, that I wanted to be free. I wanted to live in the moment, to live life to the full and grab it with both hands and shake the hell out of it, to feel peace every night, and not apologies for being me. When you think you have nothing you have everything, all you truly need is love and courage.
