One miscalculation and you could end up dead. Imagine a life of constant fear, of not knowing where the next piece of physical, sexual or verbal abuse is likely to come from. Take a wrong turn and it may well be your last. Imagine a life in which death is all you can contemplate; suicide is the last vestige of control. Imagine, just for a moment, being trapped in a body that you don't recognise as your own.
