Spat Out. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is not an inspiration story. \u003cbr\u003eThis is the truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNamed 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBecause the damage stops with him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThat's the legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Gates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798255338863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.24d","brand":"Peter Gates","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997744443647,"sku":"9798255338863","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/abused-used-broken-spat-out-peter-gates-9798255338863","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
