I have decided to start this blog early.  Darrell and I will be leaving for a new life in Europe at the end of January as we both recover from illness and bullying, that could have gone on for many years.  To be honest, as I write this today, it really does not matter how long these situations have lasted, because it is time to restart a life that was taken away from us many years ago.

To not have control of your own destiny, must seem strange to most people, but then most people have not experienced what we have. 

This new blog, is about renewal and restart.  Both Darrell and I have been through the worst of times, probably over a long period of time, but knowing the truth behind everything that happened, whilst traumatic,  has taught us many lessons in life.  It has changed us in every way possible, for the better and for the worst, but above all it has made us think the unthinkable and move away to Europe and start a new life together.

Not everyone has had the opportunities we have had.  Most people would not have ruined all those chances we were given, but at least we tried, lived the lives that resulted from new opportunities, even for a short time and gained a wealth of memories and friends along the way.  For that we are both eternally grateful.

A new life, is something we have tried before, so we are not adverse to making the necessary changes to fulfill a different destiny.  These are usually positive and eventful times in our life, born from awful times, but have always pushed us forever onwards towards new horizons.  Neither of us ever predict the end results because usually our judgement is flawed and confused.  That's just us, our experiences and our failing in life.

I hope you enjoy reading this new diary, that will formally begin on the 31 January 2016.  Today it is published as a reminder to me, that we do have a future.  My blog also includes a page entitled 'The Sociopaths'.  This is the beginning of a book, detailing the events that took place in our life, that bought us to where we are today.  This book will allow me to finally lay to rest the worst period of my life, by finally facing up to what happened to both of us, in the most poignant way possible. 

The characters are based on real people.  The names have been changed and locations have been kept secret, but essentially, with the exception of a tweek or two, events are as they happened.  I will add to 'The Sociopaths' now, and continue writing when living in Europe.

As usual your comments and views are always welcome, so please send them to me.  I always aim to reply to everyone, so don't be shy!

Thank you to everyone for helping us to get where we are today.  It's been a hell of a journey, you will always be in our hearts!
