I had a lot of support from friends. I went to court twice. The first time they said no, but the second time I appealed and the judge said he would look at it in a different way. It's not as easy as it sounds. There were a lot of tears and it was hard at the time. I won an award (from Deutsche Bank) and it was fantastic. A couple of years ago my life was about to end and now everything has turned around.
