Abused, Used, Broken, Spat Out!: The Complete Memoir (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798255338863)

Abused. Used. Broken. Spat Out.

This is not an inspiration story.
This is the truth.

Named by his abuser in the newspapers. Dragged through poverty, endless moves, and Maggie Thatcher's Scotland. Groomed and raped as a boy by Graham Hammond at the Salvation Army in Easterhouse. Pulled into the drug world before he was even sixteen - cocaine, crack, hash, dealing, running, surviving.

He built a life anyway. Became a father. Held down a call-centre job running multi-million-pound projects while his body was already on fire. Then the reckoning came: the childhood trauma finally broke him. Chronic pain. Bed-bound. Pills counted out in the dark. School runs he can't always make.

This is the complete memoir - both books in one unfiltered volume. Written in fragments from the car and the bed, exactly as they happened. No tidy ending. No neat redemption. Just the honest record of a man who carried everything, broke, and still chose to stay for his sons.

Because the damage stops with him.

That's the legacy.
