...stupid risks trying to find a way out of this... I'm not talking the ultimate end game where you do it yourself...but to me it was obviously the intended outcome - I just didn't know that then.

over-heard a conversation she'd had with a couple of female friends some months after this accident "I don't get it... John (my father) is absolutely besotted and can't imagine him anything other than perfect; but with me...(sobbing)...I hate him!

There wasn't a scratch on me, just some light grazing on my right elbow. No broken bones, no outward nor detectable thing was wrong with me.

He hit the anchors with enough force to actually bring our compact Vauxhall Viva to a stop on what seemed like a coin except for my going through the windscreen.

I was sat on the rear bench seat, forward...
