Stolen From My Bosom is a story about my early life and ends in my twenties; it is the prequel to Blind to the Molesting Hands. It details a childhood of abuse, neglect and rejection, and chronicles my search for someone to love. My journey took me to the United States Air Force, where I was to meet a varied assortment of individuals, most of whom were misogynists. I married a man who preferred the company of other men and was not really the marrying kind, and in my naivety, I actually had his child. This man I married failed in every way as a husband, provider and father, but nevertheless stole my son from me when our marriage broke up. My former husband has kept my son from me for years, and I was reluctantly forced to come to the very sad realisation that my son must have inherited a form of mental illness from my mother and his father, which will be chronicled in a future work, I Never Got To Cry.
