I next went into real estate and formed my own agency at twenty-six and simultaneously opened a bloodstock agency, where I lived and worked in Malaysia and Singapore. I had sixteen horses in work and raced them throughout Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Ipoh, and Penang until my wife succumbed to mesothelioma.
I returned to Australia and nursed my wife until she died five months later, leaving me with a three-year-old son. I stayed in Australia and bought a liquor store, which I ran for the next six years, until depression and anxiety got the better of me. As a result, I was bankrupt and lost the family fortune, ending up in and out of hospital and Graylands Mental Institution for lengthy stays, overcoming several attempts at suicide.
The last twelve years, I have been working as a construction site manager; however, the past three to four years, I have once again succumbed to the dreaded mental illness. I have now been put on a disability pension and have written this novel with the idea of primarily helping people understand the disease and to show them that they are not alone.lihat lebih sedikit
