Anyone life so monumentally shit that if you wrote a book you'd sound like a fantasist. Getting to the stage where I don't even believe it myself

The dark night of the soul. Sounds dramatic but when the shit hits the fan over and over again, with no respite, it feels like a beating from the universe. I remember wanting to hide from the finger of fate that kept pointing at me, and then about 12 years later it stopped. You might be surprised at how many people would believe your story. 💐

There's been some tragedy but nothing book worthy.

Tell us a bit about your life.

Yes. I know there is no point talking about it as it doesn't sound credible, so there's only one person who knows me very well and God who knows me even better that I can talk to. I've often thought about writing a book but no longer have the energy or will to put my head above the parapet, the focus is now on damage limitation and quiet resignation.

Mine used to be, but it has got better! After decades of tragedy, I didn't think it ever could, but it has, bit by bit.

I hope yours does too.
