27 March - our son, Mark Joseph Sullivan was born at Townsville General Hospital (TGH)

Mothers Day - Domestic Violence Incident - Address 7 Fig Tree Pocket, Fairfield Waters - neighbours at 2 Figtree Pocket Fairfield Waters phoned the police.

Police arrived on the scene.

VVCS were advised of the situation, and we had a year of marriage counseling.

Kieron Sullivan had anger issues and was verbal abusive and threatening on Mother's Day 2004

Witnesses ... Dorothy, Patty, Courtney (Jamaican), Eni, Pauline Sullivan (mother), neighbours across road, Robert and Janine Greenfield (ex-military).

Our son, Mark Sullivan was only 10 days old.

2011 & 2012 - I was pregnant. It was also a busy year taking photos of military families prior to 8/9RAR deployment.

I was taking family portraits right up to their departure, so nearly 8 months pregnant.

Whilst looking after 3 boys, whilst Kieron was on pre deployment training and seldom home.

I worked at night time processing)editing to ensure all my clients received a professional service.

All my digital copies are gone.

I do remember most if my clients though... Because I became good friends with many if the army wives during deployment.

I provided a professional service 100% of the time. Many were repeat customers, I become their ongoing professional family photographer. I was part of their lives. Pregnancies, newborns, family, weddings.

2012 -

Awesome bunch of 8/9RAR girls ... We had a blast when the boys were in Afghanistan.  Great ladies.

I will remember them forever xxx

Pinup portrait session with the army wives... Sarah was only 4 months old, I was breastfeeding and working part-time.

This was a special gift for the amazing ladies I became great friends with.

Besides photographing the day... There were many hours prior to the day I had to work to organize the event. We covered two separate locals, I organised hair and make-up artists. Bookings, permits, liability forms, deposits, a second photographer...

This was a 100% professional service. No shortcuts because my reputation as a professional photographer depended on a high quality professional service.

Being a professional photographer is actually hard work. I was an award winning photographer accredited with the A.I.P.P.

I never took shortcuts in my no profession... Any profession or past employments.

I had so much expensive equipment.. all gone now!!! I paid for the equipment, I worked hard to part E

everything slowly as I could afford it... And not before!! No loans, no credit cards, no debts with my business.

I know the basic fundamentals of setting up a small business... Every business in Mexico I tried to set up, failed. I lost so much money and time. It was an absolute joke!!

Obviously processing of images with a big group of girls was also a huge job too.

They all loved my children, and gave Sarah many cuddles during the 5 months I caught up with them on base... Almost every Friday night!!!! BBQ nights :)

It was hard work with 4 kids.. but I managed to get them out of the house regularly and stay connected with our  unit, 8/9RAR.

2013

He use to find me in lots of places... Brookside, Chermside, Stamford Valley. If I didn't answer my phone he said he got worried and would jump on his bike to look for me.

Kieron admitted later, that he had hacked into my Apple phone and would track everywhere I went.

He said he was just worried about me, so if something happened to me, he could find me. I believed him of course!!!

Very selfish in bed and very needy ... He never got it.

He never respected me. He thought he owned me.

It's on a need to know basis and you do not need to know!!!!

Australia is a Good Ole Friendly Easy Going Country With Incredible People from all Walks of Life.

--- End of Story ---

***** RESPECT *****

Not end of story...

I was never a coffee & cake kinda of gal.

Fine wine and an assortment of delicious cheeses was more my style.

The army wives who didn't work loved to get together for coffee and cake.

MTF3 was a huge coffee & cake adventure when 6RAR was deployed to Afghanistan.

Kieron was looking after the army wives while the boys were away. Several of them accused him of harrassment, and said that they saw him in the back yard of one property, peaking through the window.

Their homes were all just off the back gate at Enogerra. The girls ended up letting everything go, and everyone moved on eventually.

But the apparent incident caused huge dramas.

They all decided to hate me, I never even knew them.

They were friends with Jan Birss at the time, but she took my side and they all hated her. They would all go down to Gloria Jean's Brookside for coffee and cake.

Jan would ring me up telling me they were there and to come on down, so we could walk past them.

They would do the same to us.

We would all get on their FB group and be nasty bitches to each other.

I got dragged into it, and became one of those nasty bitchy army wives that had nothing better to do then stalk each other at Brookside, stalk on FB, and do the fancy coffee and cake thing.

Kieron was completely innocent. I believed him, and I thought those girls were nothing more than lying bitches.

Leesa Williamson, Bec Williams, Jeannie Prangell, Lyndsey..... Janna.... ?, And a couple of other ladies.  Jan Birss will remember all the girls that were involved with this crazy ongoing saga.

I wasn't even part of 6RAR... We were 8/9RAR. Why did I have to get dragged into such army wife gossip.

Officers Wife... Omg.. I hate that term. For some reason I'm suppose to be special because I was an officer's wife. My ex-husband always referred to me as an officer's wife. Army wives of lower rank husband's couldn't believe I was talking to them because I was an officer's wife... WTF.

I never went to any finishing school to be an officer's wife. I never signed up on the dotted line and entisted.

I would say to people, I am Kieron Sullivan's wife, I am also a mother of four children, and I am someone's daughter. I am also a professional photographer... My profession was photography, not army.

I was friends with everyone, and I made it very clear that I do not agree with army wife rank... it's bullshit. I am my own person, I do not belong to someone else.

No ranks allowed in my army wife circles.

I am an independent woman... Always have been, always will be.

You don't own ME!

Do army wives still wear their husbands ranks these days?

It doesn't give them much independence... Does it? They need to be their own person with their own titles... Not their husband's titles...

I was never paid to be an army wife... Biggest job of my life .. never got paid by the ADF... He did!!!!!

I tried to get out there an be a civi in the real world... Did many jobs in the real world. But if Mexico has anything to do with it, I really was an officer's wife... An army wife... Who never signed up on the dotted line. But since I did marry him, they own me for life too... Apparently??!!

No one told me this before we got married... I should have been consulted first about my responsibilities and rights as an army wife!!!

You can't have your cake and eat it too...

Which one was I???
