Laura Canty with her son Arthur
When Laura Canty talks about her two-and-a-half year old son Arthur, her voice softens. I couldn’t tell you how much I love him now.
It’s particularly joyous, given that four weeks after his birth, she had a moment of clarity. It came to me that I had to kill myself, she says. Or Arthur. I didn’t feel sad about it. I was just pleased I’d found a solution. It appealed to her (normally) logical brain. I’m a business analyst. I spend my life thinking of solutions to data problems.
