    • About Me

      Hi there. I am 45 years old and live in Northern Ireland with my 2 cats. 2007 was THE most awful year of my life, I had a breakdown due to my abusive alcoholics ex's dreadful behaviour.I finally had the courage to go to court and get him out of my life and our home. I lost my job, my self esteem, confidence and I feel I lost "ME". 2 years later, after a lot of therapy, a lot of emotional pain and a lot of hard work, I have now came out the other side, back to being "ME".
