Four-year-old Lisa's world turned upside down when her
step-father moved in. Most of the time he was just violent but then
he started making her do things she knew were wrong. Soon he was
visiting her at night. Lisa begged her mother for help but she just
shrugged, telling Lisa he would have his way. It was the greatest
betrayal of all.
At first Lisa's step-father would just make her stroke and
massage his feet, hitting her if she stopped, but he soon wanted
more. Much more. By the time she was 12 he was regularly abusing
her. One day, when Lisa turned 16, she came home to discover that
her mother had swapped bedrooms with her. 'You're my girlfriend
now', her step-father told her. Lisa turned to her mother for help,
but was met with a shrug. She wouldn't hear a word against her
husband. 'Don't blame me, ' she said. Her step-father's abuse was
horrific but what completely tore her apart was knowing her mother
knew and encouraged it.
Trapped and increasingly desperate, Lisa tried to find a way
out. But her isolation was complete. Several months later her
mother told her she'd arranged for Lisa and her step-father to move
into a flat together down the road. It was too much for Lisa to
bear. 'Please don't make me, please, ' she sobbed. But her mother
just ignored her. Lisa was marched around to the flat with her
possessions and her nightmare was complete.
Alone with her step-father, Lisa's life became even more
unbearable. Then one day, finally, she got the chance she'd been
looking for to escape. Lisa bravely struck out on her own,
petrified her mother would find her and hand her back into the
waiting arms of her step-father. But Lisa's mother had no idea how
determined she was to break away "
