In Memory

In Memory

Many people recover from the devastating effects of childhood trauma
and along the way they may have stumbled and fallen once or even several times,
and somehow have eventually been able to get back up and carry on
and sometimes people have fallen........and not risen again

This area of the website is dedicated to the memory of those who died as a result of the trauma they went through in childhood at the hands of their family.

They had to carry not only the burden of the what happened to them but also bore the additional weight of society's refusal to acknowledge their burden.

At present there is no memorial to mark their life and their demise, and so I have created this page to say 'you are not forgotten'

Bobby
When their mother died Bobby and his sister were left in the clutches of their abusive alcoholic father.

After years of torture Bobby finally ended the abuse by killing his father so that he and his sister could be free. The terrible level of abuse he experienced was recognized at his subsequent trial and Bobby was not imprisoned.
Bobby never recovered from what had been done to him and his life ended prematurely by suicide.

Sally

Sally struggled with the results of long term child abuse and betrayal by her parents which left her with severe relationship and alcohol addictions.

Sally always wanted to be able to raise a family but was too unwell.

Roberta wanted to help make the world a better place.
