'The very first memory I had of my father was the sting of his belt as the buckle seared my back. I was four years old. The shock, and the pain, followed by the realization of betrayal, stunned me. I think it was then that hate set in. I just remember his face looming over me, and the smell of his whisky breath. Before that, it was just a fog of misery. Up until that moment the torture had always been mental. I can still see that belt. It was Long, dark shiny leather.
