Being married to a police detective should have made Amanda Broderick feel safe and protected but her family had to watch the devoted mum slowly lose her confidence over 15 years.
Amanda, 35, had a daughter from a previous relationship when she met Stephen Broderick. He adopted Alyssa and he and Amanda went on to have a son together.
Broderick was a Travis County Sheriff’s detective and they lived in Elgin, Texas. But he was controlling and ruled their home.
