Hello there!
Welcome to my first blog, after yesterday’s verdict of lowering a conviction charge from murder to manslaughter as in the case of Sally Challen, I felt compelled to make a start on this blog as I can identify with her story. I have fought with this for over a year, because I was afraid to tell the world my story. However, for some reason I kept getting signs to write, speak my truth and be honest with you. I am unsure whether to speak about my experience of dyslexia and how it has been pervasive in every sphere of my life, which affected my mental health and self-esteem. Or whether I should speak about my experience of being in an abusive relationship and how I feel the two may be connected, which benefitted my ex in his quest to manipulate and control my life.
In the following months I will be posting my experiences because my aim is to support you, giving you tips or markers that might help you.
