Daughter of a Murderer speaks out

Her book, ‘Daughter of a Murderer’ provides a glimpse into the silent world of a forgotten victim of crime. In 1978, aged 10, her whole life was changed in an instant. Her needs were ignored and her human rights were violated, whilst she battled with PTSD, abandonment, guilt and shame. She tries to fix the shattered remnants of her family and secretly hopes someone will give her support. She is desperate for love but instead suffers physical, sexual, psychological and financial abuse. Her book highlights the long term affects of such an adverse childhood experience thrust upon children across the world.

Little has changed for children who experience this type of family tragedy, so her mission is to raise awareness to enable these children to get the support they require and improve their outcomes. The proceeds from the book will go towards the start up of CatchU - The Charity for Abused & Traumatised Children Handling Uxoricide. CatchU will support children who have been bereaved by domestic homicide or suicide in the context of domestic abuse.
