This week I talk to Lisa Kennedy, author of "No Going Back" about her book. "During a routine family holiday to her husband s homeland of Turkey, Lisa Kennedy was suddenly told their marriage was over. Her husband took their six-month-old baby from her care and instructed her to go home to Australia, alone beginning four years of hell in Istanbul as she fought the case through both Turkish and International courts all the while battling people she once called family, now hell-bent on not letting her leave with her only son. Finally, with time against her and all faith lost in legal channels, Lisa realised she had only a mothers choice: she had to save her child and get back home by whatever means available. That meant calling on outside help and, to raise awareness about the frailties of international marriage and children, 60 Minutes agreed to film the plight. This is the heart-stopping story that is now unlikely ever be aired." Contact Lisa. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100021721781161&lst=684510

  Episode 18. Josef Cannon Part 3. This week is the third and final instalment of the Josef Cannon Trilogy.  Josef Cannon is a real life Hollywood actor/director/producer who’s own LBP story sounds like a movie script. His estranged Irish-born wife Catherine is wanted for Parental Kidnapping after she snatched their child Shelby from his care in 1998 by using identities stolen from a tombstone in an Ireland cemetery. Shelby was later discovered in Liverpool England after an anonymous tip came from a woman who saw her picture in a newspaper article while in the airport in Scotland and recognized her as a student in her son’s class back in Liverpool England. Today we also talk about the media and movie industry and why it seems they are not interested in the stories of LBP's.    More on Josef https://www.facebook.com/josefcannon?lst=684510688%3A573727084%3A1506806810 http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1184573/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm Join the conversation https://www.facebook.com/lbpstoriespodcast/

In a change from my usual LBP guest, today I'm talking to clinical Psychologist and Lecturer at The University of Southern Queensland, James Brown about depression. This show is not only about providing a forum for LBP's to share their stories, it's also about offering support and help with dealing with all of the issues involved with relationship breakdowns and being alienated from children. Depression is a very serious issue, that many suffer, and sadly for some, the depression can sometimes be too much. In this episode James talks us through what depression is, how it manifests, and how we can cope with it. Above all we provide hope that there is a way out and that depression can be over come.
