I finally told mum the truth

I used to feel safe with Dad, until one night changed everything

He left 50p beside my bed but what he took was worth so much more

She was all I had left, but was she telling me the truth? Sarah Corbett Lynch, 18, County Clare

After getting justice I finally felt safe, but it didn’t last

We looked like the ideal family but the reality was so different

I thought I’d finally found happiness
