Today, Fatima Bhutto on surviving an abusive relationship while living in the public eye.
Fatima Bhutto was born into one of Pakistan's most famous families.
A wealthy and powerful political dynasty marked my decades of bloody violence.
The leading Pakistani politician, Benazir Bhutto, has been assassinated.
She was killed in a terrorist attack as she was leaving an election rally in the city of Rohingya.
She has been martyred, said Baba Awan.
Threats to the family were constant.
And so the need to keep secrets became Fathama's norm.
There were days I remember where my father would wake me up in the morning and say,
you can't go to school.
We've got to leave the house.
You can't tell anyone where you are.
and maybe we'll come back in a week.
Fatma's father, Murdoz Abato, was killed in a police shootout outside the family home.
She was just 14 years old.
Her world turned utterly upside down.
Not even a week after my father was killed, my stepmother came up to me one morning and said,
we've got to send you and your brother out of the country because we don't know.
People are saying you could be killed next.
