The Birdie at Willets Cottage

How should one deal with bullies? Fight back, knuckle under, suppress the horror for most of your life, or simply outlive them?
Ben Nuttall-Smith’s mother was rarely there during the awful bombing of London in the Second World War. As he would find out much later, his mother was an English spy sent to Denmark because she was fluent in several languages.
Ben was sent with his sister to live in the midst of the bombing with their uncle. Much, much later, Ben would admit that his uncle was a pedophile.
It did not get any better. So how has Ben lived into his 91st year?
This is his story of deeply repressed traumas, and, finally, healing.
