’In many ways we were an ordinary family: mum dad two kids three dogs one rabbit two guinea pigs. I stayed at home studying with the Open University and dad worked and the kids went to private schools. We lived in a rather nice semi in a rather nice area of Edinburgh with a rather nice Volvo in the drive and took rather nice holidays wearing rather nice clothes. I loved Daniel deeply and I thought - no I was sure - he loved me deeply too. And we both loved our kids deeply (I thought). And that was as it should be. We had it made.In some ways we weren’t a completely ordinary family. There was Daniel for one; he worked for most of the time we were married as a ship’s engineer and so he was away from home for up to four months and then home on leave for up to two. And Tamsin our fifteen-year-old daughter had specific learning difficulties. But I’m pretty ordinary: an unlikely heroine. I am disabled because of back problems. I’m pretty fat - I’ve put on a lot of weight through lack of exercise and yes comfort-eating! Not the stuff of movies.But I never for a moment dreamt that my family was all that extraordinary - until that day when Tamsin broke down and told me that her father my loving husband had been sexually abusing her.’
