Her Dad R***d Her Sister | The Moment

Chloe spent years trying to escape her past. Growing up in Ayrshire, Chloe Craig and her older sister Jamieleigh were inseparable despite being complete opposites. But behind the laughter was a fractured family, a troubled father and secrets that would eventually tear their lives apart. When Chloe was just three years old, their parents separated and the sisters moved with their mum, leaving their father behind. As the years passed, Chloe’s relationship with her father faded, but Jamieleigh never gave up hope of rebuilding the bond they had lost. So when she finally tracked him down, after years of searching, she believed she was finally getting the relationship she had always dreamed of. But what began as a long-awaited reunion would take a devastating turn. What followed would change Chloe’s life forever. A devastating confession. A death that no family could have prepared for. A mother who would never recover from losing her daughter. And years later, another tragedy that left Chloe completely alone. But somehow, from the darkest chapter of her life, Chloe found a reason to keep going. Today, she is a mother herself, carrying the memory of her sister and mum with her as she campaigns for tougher sentences for those convicted of sexual abuse. A story about family, betrayal, grief… and finding a reason to live when you feel you have nothing left.
