Divorce and Divine Intervention. Why my husband leaving me was the best thing that happened! Ten years ago today my husband walked out on my son and I. Ten years ago my world completely shattered around me. Ten years ago I slipped into despair. Ten years ago I started a journey that would see me transform my life to the beautiful landscape it is now. The wonder that is Facebook, showed me my status from the day in question. I’m, not one for airing dirty laundry on social media. But I made a short and succinct post, because, quite frankly what the hell was I supposed to do? That night we’d arranged with my Mum to have a night off, child free.

F-bombs, truth bombs and downright pissed off passages is what came out of me! It helped. I can literally still feel the release now when I think back about those years ...

  Artist ♥  Mum ♥ Free Thinker ♥ Weirdo      So you wanna know who I am? ♥   I’m 37 years old! I live on the beautiful South Coast of England, in Poole, Dorset. ♥   I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder at the age of 11. ♥   I spent the next 3 years seeing a psychologist, psychiatrist or therapist every single week. ♥   At the age of 14~ Whilst at my Aunts house, my Mum explains to me that she is taking me to a special children’s hospital for mental health treatment. I remember screaming at her that she didn’t want me, I was awful, I may as well die as my mum didn’t even want me around.  I clearly see myself running and launching myself onto my cousin’s bed and burying my head in the pillows, feeling so empty and distraught. ♥   And so begins my first ‘In-Patient’ stay at a young person’s psychiatric hospital. ♥    I’ve tried to kill myself 5 times since the age...
