If you've watched this, thank you.
If it has shocked you, I'm not surprised. I still struggle to believe it.

Now, please, if you can, SHARE it. Here, everywhere. SEND it to people. SHOUT about it. The people who can change this still aren't listening. We need to make them.

Hey, political parties, I'm a decent human being who cares about other human beings. How about pandering to me for a bit?

I’m just using my case as an example here - but what the hell are victims of any crime which leaves them with devastating lifelong effects supposed to take from this? It takes quite a lot to make me angry, but this definitely has.

The felling of that tree was awful, mindless vandalism. They deserve to face consequences for their actions.

The man who sexually abused me (and others) was neither remanded in custody between verdict and sentencing, nor put in prison for ‘a lengthy period’…

It was great to chat with Mark about living with PTSD, and the ways in which we both try to use our worst experiences to make positive change. If nothing else, hopefully this episode helps someone else feel they're not alone and gives them some ideas about making lemonade from life's lemons! 🍋✨
