Timeline

I was born on the 1/61959.

My Parents seperated dec 1966.

My 1st psychiatric treatment took place 20/2/1967, this was a shock to me as I thought it hadn't happened till 1968. My 1st treatment after this was to be put on a strong tranquiliser I mean come on I was 7yr old.

Parents divorced 20/10/1967, custody was awarded to my mum.

Mum died 16/6/68.

Paul Ian and Lorna were placed in James McKenzie Clinic in St Andrews on 17/6/68.

I was left away from my siblings until 22/6/68.

At that point Paul and I were taken to my Aunt in Somerset.

Lorna and Ian stayed in the James McKenzie Clinic after that I believe up until their adoption/fostering.

Sent to Crossgates Childrens home 6/7/68.

Eventually sent to my foster parents (long term) 23/7/68.

As you can see a huge amount happened in a very short time when we were all so young and vulnerable.

This process has proved useful, it has also brought up several questions that I hope to answer very soon.
