Poor, hapless, occasionally hopeless Ben Mitchell.

He has only ever known a fragile existence; from the menengitis that left him partially deaf; his parents’ acrimonious split; the tragic death of his mother and most recently, his abuse...

So at last, the secret’s out. The ’other’ secret. The one that goes a long way to explain why Ronnie Mitchell is the way she is. The violent temper and the icy inability to trust or relate to other people.
