I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a happily married mum of five.... I am also an adult survivor of child sex abuse. It has been a long and often hard road to becoming a survivor, and I refuse to see myself as a victim, I will not give my abuser the satisfaction of making me a victim... he took my childhood from me, but damned if he is having the rest of my life too.... My family are my world, they mean everything to me, even when the kids are driving me "nucking futs".. I wouldn't be without them. If you were to ask my friends to describe me, the words mad, hatter,brush, daft as, etc would be mentioned I'm sure..I'm also a campaigner for raising awareness of child abuse.

This is my son Kris, performing in the chorus in Little Shop of Horrors on 24/6/08.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Alice Walker, author of The Colour Purple, Maya Angelou, author of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, his lyrics are so emotive... Sara Payne, an amazing woman, her dedication and commitment to bringing about Sarah's Law and her bravery and courage are an inspiration to us all.

Will i ever learn?

I am told that one of my greatest assets is my compassion for other people, that I can still care for others despite my childhood. I am also often told that one of my biggest flaws is my compassion fo...
