Tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. On the 19th May 2016, I went to a Brisbane Hotel, with my partner, to tell my story to a Commissioner from Australia's Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Abuse.

Depression – Dancing With The Devil
Its been three months since my breakdown, and not much has changed, except I have managed to stay out of hospital.

I was first diagnosed with PTSD about six years ago. Now, I know what it is and understand how it works. I have been battling it for decades. Along with a good unhealthy dose of chronic depression.

Personal Branding – Love In My Heart
Being a writer has been a dream of mine for a very long time and now that I am writing, and have my own website, it's like a dream come true. However, I only had a grade eight education. The spelling isn't great and the grammar drives my poor Tinkerbell (Editor and Best Friend) mental! So calling myself a writer, just doesn't sit well … [Read more...] about Personal Branding – Love In My Heart

My Father – For Lack of a Better Word
My father, my story... When I think of my Father, I feel my whole body tense. My brain starts twirling around like one of those game show wheels. On what memory it will stop on...is anybody's guess.

Catholic Church – My Sexual Abuse
Suffer the little children...and suffer we did, and still are. My Story. I sit here in front of my computer and stare at a Towards Healing Pack that has been sent to me from the Catholic Church.

Meet The Pedophile – Say Hello To My Daddy
My father was the first born child to pathological parents. My father's father (my grandfather) was a pedophile and my grandmother had been involved in prostitution and was also a well-known back-yard abortionist.
