Synopsis

My Reason Why... Human Rights Act Article 8 Right to life states that ''You have the right to enjoy family relationships without interference from the government. This includes the right to live with your family and, where this is not possible, the right to regular contact.'' With little support from anyone during my worst times, people have been quick enough to jump on the bandwagon. When I say people, I actually mean family members. Although much of my actions were not my fault and were caused by a medical condition, It didn't stop people from calling me an unfit mother, no matter what I may have done or said, my children are my life no matter what. I've been accused of so many things, accused of flaunting, bragging, I've been called a whore, a slapper, desperate for attention. It's just not true! Live and let live, money isn't important! During my mid teens, I was accused of becoming pregnant just to gain attention, accused of sleeping around. I've written this book really to clear the air, to explain how I suffered in silence, and walked alone for 17 years. I want people to understand who I really am, the loving mum, wife, friend.

Caroline Elwood-Stokes, former player of Sheffield Wednesday Ladies. Kilnhurst, Sheffield United Ladies and published author is the founder of FOOTBALLS AWARENESS of MENTAL HEALTH (FAMH), an Organisation providing support and awareness to players, coaches and managers suffering with – or have suffered with – mental health issues. ​ “As an ex footballer myself, I lost my career abruptly 23 years ago,” said Elwood-Stokes. “I was not able to face football, I couldn’t even bear to hear the word and I went into a massive spiral of depression, so severely that I was self harming, taking over doses and planning my own death. Basically, if I couldn’t play football I wanted to be dead. After years of taking anti depressants and having many sessions of bereavement counselling to get over the loss of my career, I have finally returned to the game.”
