Not My Fault

‘What mattered was that someone listened to me. Someone believed me after 25 years. That means everything.’


Trish Hinde was sexually abused by her father from the age of six. Alone and scared, she internalised her trauma and began suffering from violent seizures.


Trish and her five siblings were neglected, often relying on neighbours for food and watching helplessly as bailiffs carried away their possessions.


In her early teens, Trish was promiscuous and often found herself in danger. Two decades later, after realising her past was damaging her marriage, she decided to go to the police. This time, at last, they listened.
