I am certain that there are many more incidents that have been blocked from my memory. The trauma, this one perpetrator has inflicted on me has certainly affected my quality of life over a very long period.
By the time I reached the standards, the anxiety cycle was well established as result of the abuse perpetrated by Miss Collin. By the time I reached standard four I found learning very difficult. As a 9, 10 and 11 year old child I had an underlying death wish. This suicidal development was to have a near tragic outcome when I attempted suicide. Throughout the rest of my school years, I suffered continual childhood depression and anxiety. By the time I reached form two, my potential had been seriously affected. The anxiety condition continued well into my adult years that led to suicide attempts.
Miss Collin, you have a lot to answer for!!
