Yes I was in the back of my abusers van at 8 years old, frozen to the spot, trying to get his hands off me and managed to get out of the van, ran up a hill and sat hyperventilating, not knowing what was happeningwiting for my so calledmother to come and fetch me. It was a freezing cold day and I was in a summer dress. I presume that was a panic attack, although I didn't realise at the time.
