Behind closed doors

I grew up in Sydney – one of six children. We were a good Catholic family going to church all the time. My parents were involved in the church and, from the outside, we looked like a good, happy, healthy family but that was far from the dysfunction and domestic violence. There were various forms of abuse on each of us – physical, sexual and emotional abuse.
I saw it happen to my brothers and sisters as well as experiencing it myself. My father was undiagnosed bipolar and he could change very quickly from a happy, interactive dad who played with us to someone quite different.
