Two years ago today, at 2.23pm, a nurse called Lydia, rang. It was so I could speak to my sister for the last time. She was so funny, and so afraid. I promised her I would look after her children and tell our mother she loved her.

When I was 7 years old, we moved house, Counties. It was just ‘another’ move. There was a joke that every time my stepfather built a fireplace, we moved. What I found out later, was that every time he abused another little girl and almost got caught, we moved. 1/

It took 20 women and a national newspaper to get them to believe this. Is it any wonder at all, that the women did not pursue any charges? They would be decimated and end up the losers. Society is not set up to support women in these situations, and the law even less so. I know.
