“I didn’t know if I loved my daughter any more because the pain was so bad [becoming tearful] . . . it’s the feeling of guilt of, ‘Why should you feel like that?’ and you just want her to be like everyone else’s daughter and it can’t be and you can’t share that with anyone else so you get on inlife with a lot of pretence and I get sick of pretending and I just feel thatI’ve lost myself a lot.”
