I woke the children,told them to throw on their dressing gowns and slippers and to follow me as quietly as they could.We crept downstairs and fled through the front door and into the black of night. I thought the obvious place for him to look for us would be the stalls opposite so I ushered the children through the side gate and up onto the fields. As we crept past the washing line we heard him stumbling across the yard, shouting obscenities as the torch beam moved this way and that in the night sky as he tried to search us out. When Bryan's 'head went' he was not in his right mind and I had no doubt in my mind that if he caught up with us it would be 'curtains' for us all as I was sure he would then turn the gun on himself. He may have seen this as the only way out of the financial mess we found ourselves in but I was convinced that there must be another way. My children and I were not ready to meet our Maker yet, no matter what Bryan had decided for us. down to With their whispered promises floating in the air I went forth on my mission to disarm my deranged husband.

About the Book
A true life story of tears and tantrums, as an ordinary wife and Mother treads a precarious pathway through a 'minefield' called marriage. Married to someone with a 'split personality' meant no two days were the same. Ecstatically happy one moment, she and her children could be running for their lives the next. How does she cope under such pressure when business economics are thrown into the equation? She steps away and finds a humorous take on the situation - the only way she can survive.
About the Author
She left school educated, but without any particular direction. Twice married, she helped her second husband to run a successful scaffolding company for over twenty years until his death in 2002. During that time she was introduced to farming and helped run the family farm alongside her many other activities. She is a Mother of three and a Grandmother to six and has always enjoyed telling, and writing stories. Her life, in general, has been a roller coaster of events and emotions which she has faced and tackled with a sense of humour which has seen her through traumatic times. Having amused people over the years with snippets about her life, she thought it might be a good idea to write the story down from the beginning.
