Jean Marie Ivey

Road to Bluebeard's Castle Jean Marie Ivey

As a child, her early impressions came from fairy tales. They became her world apart from the reality of life. This is the story of a journey, duality, yin and yang, good and evil.

She wanted to shed light on the experiences of her life with the goal of enlightening others to the fact that they were not alone. One could escape, as she did, the imprisonment of their own mind.

Because of isolation, fear, and abuse, she became so dependent on first her mother and then her husbands that she could not imagine being able to take care of herself or her children without them. Her mind remained that of a child.

That she could escape and heal was a revelation that she needed to share and provide hope to others who feel entrapped. She wanted to help them open the door.

This tale begins near the end of the story as a crisis unfolded that could have become fatal.
