Voices In My Head: Memories Of Living With Mental Illness

This is the true story of a Catholic woman who married the man of her dreams, only to discover he was a compulsive gambler who refused point blank to consummate their marriage. Told by the priest that an annulment was out of the question, she finally, while watching an episode of Coronation Street, and by artificial insemination, became pregnant with twins. An emigration to Australia followed, dragging in its wake yet more gambling, still no sex, and domestic violence. After an armed robbery to help assuage his gambling debts, she finally left her husband, and with the help of the British Embassy, fled from Australia back to England, where she supported her twins by telling fortunes. Eventually she re-married and the new family emigrated to New Zealand, where she fell seriously mentally ill. This is the story of her life, her struggle, her illness, and her eventual recovery into a useful, but different life.
