The creator of the blockbuster Harry Poter books, JK Rowling, admitted she had “suicidal thoughts” after separating from her first husband in the mid-1990s, in an interview published Sunday. Mid-twenties life circumstances were poor and I really plummeted,” Rowling said in an interview with a student magazine at Edinburgh University, which was re-printed in the Sunday Times.”The thing that made me go for help… was probably my daughter. She was something that earthed me, grounded me, and I thought, this isn’t right, this can’t be right, she cannot grow up with me in this state.”
