Book excerpt: The book you are about to read will hopefully prevent you from falling into the same traps as I did. At first I thought traps were invented just for me to fall into but they lie in wait for us all. Sometimes I thought I would never get out of them alive. This book tells you about my life and part of my sisters, who I know suffered as I did. So trust me, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I will take you through my journey from past to present and hopefully you will find the light too. I had a lot of inspiration from my sister and my partner David. They have helped me turn my life around, for that I am eternally grateful. In the beginning you may think there is nothing unusual about my life, that shit happens. I can only tell you my side of the story and how it was for me.
