Jack's personal story

My story has recently been referred to as a horror story by my physiologist. After 20 years it still affects my relationships. 7 Years of verbal abuse and physical abuse including beatings and attempted stabbings. Trying to protect my kids throughout the madness. Watching my ex-wife put carving knives to my kids' throats.

I have recently written a book about my experience, the first is called Aussie Larrikins which explains my upbringing and the second is Married to a Larrikin. They are available as ebooks on the website www.smashwords.com and also any leading ebook distributor. Married to a Larrikin goes into a lot of detail regarding a horrific marriage at the hands of a narcissistic woman who had no control. After 20 years I decided to tell my story and it was the hardest thing I've ever done to re-live a nightmare. It is a story rarely told and as many would know, as a male you are limited with options and where to turn to.
