About the Book

I first started writing this book, I Am a Real Person, as therapy for myself. Although I’ve had help from various therapists and counsellors, there are some things that I have never been able to talk about or come to terms with, and writing this book has helped me. It tells of how and why I felt so worthless, even from a young age, and everything written is exactly how I remember it. From even before I was married, my life started to go downhill. At first, I believed it would pick up, but after years of abuse I came to the conclusion that it would never change, and I just wanted out. Until things went from bad to worse and something was said to me that made me realise I had to do something positive. I hope that my story will offer encouragement to anyone going through something similar. There is always a way out, however difficult it may seem.


About the Author

Since the accounts written in this book, all my children have grown up and had children of their own, some even with grandchildren, so I now have a huge family. I live in Canterbury with some of my family nearby. I’ve had many poems published over the years as well as a book of comfort poems. I also write poems to order and decorate and frame them.
