Our thanks to a supporter for this.

A close lady friend – sadly, no longer with us – many years ago told me she’d done something in a similar vein, but worse. Whilst very drunk, after having tried (and failed) to stab her gentle but very large boyfriend with a carving knife, she went into the garden, hit the side of her own face with a brick, then called 999. The boyfriend was very roughly treated by the police, and told me some months later he’d come close to committing suicide in the depths of the depression which followed. He also suffered from PTSD due to his treatment by the police.

If everyone who read this gave us just £3.00 – or even better, £3.00 or more, monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.
