    An Accident

    An Accident

    Maree recuperates, and suspects she was poisoned. But she has sunk so much money into the boat she tries to play nice with Damien until she can get back to the boat, and end their marriage. On the boat, an "accident" occurs, which nearly kills Maree, and which she believes was not an accident. It's ultimately just a prelude, though, to what happens next... as Maree faces a terrifying final confrontation with Damien that will end things, once and for all.

A few years in your life feels like 100 to me

A fabulous portrayal of a life lived in fear….what would we do in these circumstances? The red flags are a “must to remember”. Thankyou for sharing this horrific part of your life, but you are showing so much resilience… keep it up. A pleasure to have met you.
