I’m me.

I’m not going to intro or detail because i might not be me for long enough to any of that to matter, due to domestic violence.

Thanks.

Hello Deconstructing, can we offer you a warm welcome and hope that you know that you are safe when posting a comment on this site.

Domestic violence has been encroaching on those who have had to endure it, maybe it's not noticed by others, have to be hidden for various reasons and is a major health and welfare issue but in any way, it depletes you of your own integrity.

Our hearts go out to you with this forbidden behaviour and hope that in some way we can assist you.

My best.

Geoff.
