About the Author

I have been in receipt of trauma counselling since 1999 on a daily basis,at times speaking till the early hours of the morning.Support from my trauma Counsellor helps me to come to terms with accepting that what has happened to me cannot now be changed. I cannot ever forgive those who had a vicarious liability to look after me and failed. As a result of being locked away for some years all because we were poor has brought certain limitations to my day to day life. Writing is a form of therapy and allows me to be free to be the person that I want to be, and should have been my birthright. Through writing I can reach out to others who may have had such an unfortunate experience as myself . Daily flashbacks can be upsetting and I fill my life with things to do so as to block them out. Day to day life can be exhausting and coping mechanisms that I learnt in order to survive have not helped me in the outside world. God help all fellow survivors and perhaps one day Ireland will accept the terrible price we paid. Shame on all you right thinking residents in Ireland to allow the government and Catholic Church to ignore harm done to me and many others who are either dead or too ill to tell their story. Thanks to Chipmunkapublishing I have been able to confront my demons and a Big Thank you to Reatha my trauma counsellor without her I would not be here today writing about my stolen life.

Book Extract

Whether buying a young cat or an adult
It is important with your cat to spend time
They are so different from other pets
They have a winning streak
And can lay it on the line
One should bear in mind that cats that look healthy may
Have behavioural traits
Meaning that from time to time
You and your cat may not be the best of mates
Stopping by to see your vet on the way home
Is always a good thing
You need to have your cat checked
So that he does not disease with her bring
Feline leukaemia can kill your cat
That would not be too pleasant
So we do not want any of that
When buying a cat it is better to see them at home
Then you can see how secure they feel
The cats temperament will be easy to see
And the cat will be pleased that you have come
The cats good health should be on the top of your list
As to see the paperwork so as to see
That nothing has been missed
Your responsibility does not end there
