Crib notes

In telling the ‘events’ surrounding my experience of assault, I’ve flitted backwards and forwards in time. It’s just how the re-telling has unfolded, certain things that have needed to come out before others.

However I realise that’s a little confusing if you’re trying to get a handle on what the heck I’m talking about!

Namaste…
