Oh my goodness! I just googled your ex-husband. How horrific. No wonder you suffered depression. Therehave been so many like that in Australia. I remember one who some parents sent their 6 year old boy to. You can guess what happened. Then there was the one whopulled a gun on the head of SA Health and executed her in a lift. And the list…
Oh my goodness! I just googled your ex-husband. How horrific. No wonder you suffered depression. Therehave been so many like that in Australia. I remember one who some parents sent their 6 year old boy to. You can guess what happened. Then there was the one whopulled a gun on the head of SA Health and executed her in a lift. And the list goes on and on and on. I only read the first few paragraphs of an article from the Age. What it said was shocking. You poor woman. That would have been traumatising being married to such an abuser!
The worst part was being told by a very very high profile psychologist that I caused it because I didn’t meet his “needs”. The other offensive thing was people making the assumption that I was some sort of trophy wife. I testified against him at medical board and was told I was a protected witness, but once they had my statement, they decided I was no longer protected and I was publicly named. Knowing who to trust at that time in my life was a nightmare. There are so many sex offending shrinks . Perverts go into that profession because the nature of the discipline is that all patients are vulnerable otherwise they wouldn’t be seeking help.

Sounds like you were treated disgracefully. Disgusting that you were blamed. All just very shocking
Trust me that also got far worse. My gp regularly suggested I write a book - back then I couldn’t , but now giving it serious consideration.
Yes, a book sounds like a good idea all round. Good for the readers and good for the writer.
