By telling my story I hope to help people suffering adversity and severe depression. This problem has been with me since my early 20's. I have spent several periods in hospital, also having E.C.T. I am still on a lot of medication. We moved form Sydney to Broke in the Hunter Valley firstly growing raspberries to supply the restaurants and eventually having an on-farm-shop. I also made chutneys and jams from our fruit trees and extensive vegetable garden. Although we had apricots, figs, pears and table grapes, the raspberries developed a disease so we had to look to another venture. We researched and eventually planted olive trees. We were foundation members of the Hunter Valley Olive Association; I also travelled to California, Argentine, Spain and Italy for further research. We sold the farm and bought a huge home on Lake Macquarie, from tree change to sea change. The marriage was very rocky and I was very unhappy. We then bought a restaurant, which brought a whole lot of new stresses and problems. In 2003 I suffered a stroke, was in an induced coma for four months and when I regained consiousnes, I was blind. My husband and children put me in a nursinghome, I was only 56 years old. It was awful. Apart from loss of vision I was suffering no other effects from the stroke. The family sought no help for me so I initiated seeing an eye surgeon. The result was I regained my sight. I was indeed a medical miracle. I went back home but life was terrible. I was working with two social workers who described my situation as domestic violence, not physical but emotional. Eventually one morning I rang my three children, in Sydney, and told them I was leaving, not one said Mum I will come and get you. I rang a friend who would pick me up but I could only stay a couple of nights. After contacting one of the social workers I ended up in a Women's Refuge, firstly in Muswellbrook then Lane Cove, in Sydney. For 7 years I have been in a Retirement Village and am extremely happy. I rarely have contact with my three children and six grand daughters. This hurts a great deal. They don't seem to value me but my many friends and activities make a very full and happy life. I am at last free to be me'. Maggie Attached are two chapters.

FREE TO BE ME Turning Shame into Freedom All of us are aware of things in our lives that rob us of our freedom to be the complete person God made us to be. These issues in our lives are often buried in our past but still work powerfully to keep us imprisoned and immobilized in the present. Many unresolved concerns from the past are buried in shame and are very difficult for us to examine. Shame is one of the most powerful emotions in our lives and yet its influence is seldom recognized or talked about. The Bible has a great deal to say about shame, including how God wants to turn our negative experiences with shame into something positive. Wherever we live with an area of unhealed shame, we are unable to function in the grace of God in that area. 'Negative' shame robs us of God’s power in our lives and the capacity to fulfill our destiny. Therefore, it is imperative that as Christians we understand how to turn shame into a positive healing experience that will prepare us to be used in the Kingdom of God. This book is designed to bring healing to a very needy area of emotional development and will be taught with sensitivity and care.
