Bøker av Deborah Thomson

I envisage the book to be used as an educational resource for policy makers, social services staff, students and the general public as well as victims of abuse who from reading this book might be encouraged to leave the abusive relationship early rather than later.This book will be of interest to secondary schools as an educational acquisition for students who in the course of their studies, may look at societal issues such as family violence or abusive relationships and how to recognise such abuse.

Deborah left Wayne after eighteen years of his violence, taking their children with her. She thought they were now free from abuse. Not so. This is the sequel to Whose Life Is It Anyway? Recognising and Surviving Domestic Violence. Deborah looks closely at the pitfalls of Family Law court as experienced by an abused parent, while attempting to keep her children safe from harm. It is a story that will resonate with every parent engaging in a fight for the rights of children. Does the Family court act ''in the best interests'' of the child? You be the judge.

A fearless and candid memoir of domestic abuse and survival, written to help others recognise the problem and escape from it themselves.
