Welcome
Everyone has a story to tell ... this is mine.
Having survived childhood abuse and an unhappy adolescence, I became
involved with a boy from a ‘good Christian family’ and fell pregnant at
the age of sixteen.
After being forced to have an abortion and the subsequent break up of
our relationship when I was just seventeen, I became involved with
another man and fell pregnant again almost immediately. We were hastily
married in a classic shotgun wedding before the birth of my daughter
which coincided, almost to the day, with my eighteenth birthday.
My son was born when I was nineteen and by the time I was twenty I was a
single mum...
