113 days to go before they let him out.
113 days to go before she starts concealing her bruises.
113 days to go before her kids begin crying under their duvets.
113 days to go before she stops wearing make-up.
113 days to go before he sets fire to toys, her clothes and school books.
28 weeks and 1 day to go before he walks in the door drunk and cursing.
