About this listen

Writing this memoir has to be one of the hardest things I have ever achieved. Out of respect for the dead, this story has been told exactly how it happened.

I was born in 1985 in Lancashire, England, to two alcoholic parents. Having selfish parents left me exposed to abuse, poverty, and crime. My loving grandparents helped me the best they could at the weekends, but life was barely survivable.

Spending most of my life on a rough estate, bad influence pulled me between good and evil. Falling in love during a life of hell, my heart filled like a balloon that carried me to a greater good.

What you will listen to is no sweet lullaby. It will repulse and shock you. I fought with every ounce of strength to survive, with betrayal and evil around every corner.

Thank you for your truth and for being so vulnerable, so much of your journey resonates with my early years. I pray you get to find the path that is truly meant for you not the one created by broken human beings.
