Stumbling through life is a personal account of how I survived boarding school, featured in The Telegraph 'A Facade Finally Crumbles'. My boarding school was forgotten, it had not been inspected for fourteen years. My school damaged me, and paved the way for me to stumble into one traumatic situation after another. Running away from school, five failed marriages, kidnapping my two boys, my school created a domino effect that haunts me to this day. A mother without her boys, a grandmother without her grandchildren, and so it goes on.
