This is a book of three parts. First, Lynne tells us her life story and of the abuse she suffered as a child, from her mother, and then from her ex-husband. This abuse resulted in her suffering mental distress and NOT mental illness. She describes how she was treated by authorities such as police and social services when she finally left her husband. Lynne was treated extremely badly by those people and so the second part of this book examines her many issues and complaints. She highlights the many shortcomings of all the authorities and gives suggestions for improvements. The final part tells of the organisations and methods that she found helpful to her. These include The Freedom Programme run by Women's Aid and the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which she was able to access via the Job Centre.
