On October 22, 2014, Claire Throssell’s life changed forever after her ex-husband lured their two children, Jack, 12, and his nine-year-old brother, Paul, to the attic of their family home, before deliberately setting fire to the house, murdering his children and killing himself.

Claire had been subject to her husband’s cruel coercive, physical, emotional and financial abuse throughout their 16-year marriage. After she found the strength to leave her husband, his campaign of brutality didn’t end, but the courts ignored her, and their sons’ wishes. They gave him unsupervised access to their two sons, despite Claire’s concerns that he was very capable of harming them. Her worst fears came true.

Since 2016, Throssell has been an ambassador for Women’s Aid and IDAS (Independent Domestic Abuse Service). Determined to ensure the voices of children never go unheard again, she has played a fundamental role in the implementation of the Domestic Abuse Bill, as well as ensuring survivors of domestic abuse can no longer be cross-examined by their perpetrators in the Family Court.

Claire also played a significant role in pushing for all judges to be trained on the subject of domestic abuse and has spearheaded the Child First campaign, lobbying parliament to abolish the ‘presumption of contact’ guidelines in child custody cases.

For My Boys is Claire’s heartbreaking story and her tale of determination to seek justice for her sons and give a voice to all children who are at risk at the hands of an abusive parent. Her battle with government and court bureaucracy will anger and shock, but Claire’s humbling and remarkable story of strength will inspire.©2025 Claire Throssell & Michelle Rawlins (P)2025 W.F.

I loved this book even though it was heartbreaking at times. Wonderfully narrative with warmth and real emotion.

The honesty and determination

Such a sad tale concerning the deaths of young boys by their evil father. There can be no other word for him….simply evil. I can only imagine how the mother found the strength to carry on and then tell her tale in such a wonderful way. I enjoyed the book if one can use the word enjoyed when it concerns such a grim subject.

For my boys.

I was hooked on the book even though at times it had me sobbing. I listened to it in a few days as I couldn’t put it away. She was such a strong woman. And she told her story with such dignity.

Such a brave woman

Amazing woman. I’ve no idea how she had the strength to fight the way she did and continues to do so. Love to Jack and Paul

​For My Boys is an extraordinarily moving testament to a mother's love, shattered by an unimaginable tragedy. Claire Throssell’s account of losing her two beautiful sons, Jack and Paul, in a horrific act of domestic violence perpetrated by their father is, without a doubt, one of the most heartbreaking stories you will ever read.
​Yet, rising from the ashes of this profound grief is a story of unparalleled courage and resilience. Throssell invites readers into her darkest moments, not just to mourn, but to demand change. Her tireless fight to reform the family court system and protect other children turns this devastating memoir into a powerful beacon of hope and justice.
​It is a deeply painful read, but an essential one. You will weep for Jack and Paul, but you will leave profoundly inspired by Claire’s fierce, unwavering determination to ensure her boys' legacies live on.
​Verdict: A shattering, must-read memoir that redefines what it means to find strength in the wake of the unthinkable
