Blimey Nic, I'm so sorry for you and your mother having to deal with that awfulness. Really thank you for sharing as I know others are in a very similar situation and your bringing this madness into the light is going to help plenty of people.

Thanks Mark. One of the main reasons I wrote the book was in the hope that my story would help others in the same situation feel a little less alone. Hope you enjoy the book - an -d please do pass on to anyone else you think might find it comforting.
