‘I was maybe 14 or 15. I was in my bedroom. I could hear them fighting.
‘My mum came downstairs to the kitchen followed by Stephen. I looked through the crack halfway up the stairs – where I could just see the kitchen – to check if everything was OK, which it was, then returned to my room.
‘I heard more screaming and her shouting, “Stop, get off”, and heard little thumps.
‘I went to the stairs again and saw Stephen with his pants down and my mum pushed over the couch. I froze, but then I just went back [to her room]. This was my family life.’
