Me and my mum started going downhill with our relationship when she met Richard. It was fine at start but then towards end of year 6 it were noticeable that we weren’t as close anymore. Mum put Richard and his kids, Thomas and charlotte before us. We all lived at hapton st i.e. me Siobhan Becky Richard and my mum and Thomas and charlotte came over in the holidays.

  My mum and Richard argued all time when we were at hapton st about money and the kids Inc me and also if my mum made mistakes. Richard would get so angry he would hit my mum and then she would say that she was in the wrong then they would make up. One time when at hapton st things got that bad that Richard came flying up the stairs to come and drag me and Becky out of bed, Becky had already scrambled on to the top bunk bed with me cause of all the noise they were making breaking things and screaming at each other we clung on each other trying to comfort each other which is a bit bad when I’m clinging on my little sister cause I’m scared. So he came flying up and my mum were not long after him he slammed open the door yelling at us to get out of his house now and that we were scum cause we were Whiteside’s and he wanted nothing more to do with us . we just froze scared my mum was there screaming telling him to leave us alone , so then he started pulling my arm I screamed telling him to get of me then my mum got hold of him and dragged him back which was the wrong move cause he hit her I screamed telling him to get of her then they closed the door by this time me and Becky was shaking but all I could hear my mum screaming please leave me alone please then a massive scream came out of her mouth and then the front door slammed shut I ran out the room and looked down the stairs my mum was at the bottom crying I comforted her I felt sorry for her but they soon made up and he was sorry and I thought everything were going to be okay. But now I wished I had never felt sorry for her cause now she just as bad as him.

When Siobhan went things went from bad to worse , it was my fault that Siobhan had gone , and I was the one that were always causing trouble ... well that’s what they said.

The very first time Richard hit me was when me Richard and my mum was outside at Russell terrace i had climbed out of the bathroom window to my bedroom window and Becky had some and gone and told, which was stupid but he reacted over the top and said I was looking at him evil so he slapped me across the face ... I was 11 or 12 at the time. Pain soared through my cheek but it dint bovver me I was in shock this person had come into my life taken over and then hit me. From then on I never felt safe again because the day he hit me the anger that were spread all over his face was so scary.

I started to experience more of his anger I was petrified, scared to do even the slightest thing wrong cause of his violent temper. Things like coming in a little bit late spilling something or would trip on something. He would yell abuse at me tell I was useless, clumsy (which yeah I was but come on everyone is) and that I dint care about any of them. I and my mum weren’t the only people to feel the result of Richards’s violent temper, his son Thomas once got dragged across the floor and on the stairs because he had ...
