  "account": "Keeley McKee, whose mother Leanne was murdered by her partner when she was only three years old, is using her painful past to raise awareness about domestic abuse. At the age of 18, Keeley discovered the full details of her mother's murder and has been working ever since to turn her suffering into a force for good. She refuses to be a victim, stating, \"I am going to do something about it.\" Keeley's mother was killed in March 2003, weeks before their wedding, and her partner subsequently took his own life. Keeley, who grew up under the protection of her family from the full circumstances of her mother's death, described the impact this had on her mental health, leading to drug and alcohol misuse, suicidal thoughts and a struggle with trust. She credits her faith for helping her confront the trauma, allowing her to stop being a victim. Keeley believes that violence has become normalized in society and calls for greater recognition of the lasting impact of domestic abuse on children and families. She hopes that sharing her story will encourage others experiencing abuse to seek help and prevent the cycle of violence from continuing.",
