- In this week's episode of Minutes With, Christopher Spry describes the neglect, starvation and torture he and his siblings endured under his abusive adoptive mother Eunice Spry. For over a decade, Christopher faced daily beatings including being nearly drowned in freezing cold water, force-fed washing up liquid and made to eat his own vomit. Christopher explains how it was only luck that the children in Eunice's care didn't die.

Christopher I feel joy for you and your family in my heart💗 Even tho u cant see your sister Veronica, share happy stories of you and your sister on holiday with your son. Your sister, your gurdian angel, is with you and your beautiful family always😇🌈💫🦄🦋🌿🕊
@@Lynette-sv3ti Victoria. Her name was Victoria, or Tori, as she liked to be called as a child.
My goodness, this is so terrible. I hope your able to have a better life now. I'm so sorry 😢
So glad you found happiness..I went through a bad childhood but with my really parents ..but dad being the cruel one ..my heart was broken listening to you ...then you said you had a little boy " I think" that put a smile on my face knowing you had so.eone to truely love you . Real love ❤️
Thanks for all the love folks 😊
if you have any questions, please feel free to leave them below, and I will try and answer them to the best of my abilities
Sending you much love, Chris ❤❤❤
When did you last see her and what’s your relationship with her like now?
Thanks for sharing your story ❤
How do you move on and overcome your traumas? Do you find your childhood experiences have impeded your adult life socially and professionally? How have you overcome that?
Your life story is hard to hear Christopher. It is both sickening and heartbreaking that this person that was meant to care for you, instead tried to break your body and soul. Thank you for sharing this, I feel the utmost respect for you. You so deservedly now have love in your life, and I am wishing you much more love to come x
Imagine going through 13 years of abuse so bad that it drives your sister to suicide, and the monster that inflicted it on you gets off with 7 years. What an absolute farce.
yeah it's one of those which is "blame the system, not the judge" type things though. Sounds like had the judge been able to sentence to longer than 14 years, they would've done.
It would not be the same in the United States. European penal consequences are such a joke.
@@Matthew-bu7fgexactly there is guidelines min and max they can sentence you to.
I've seen this kind of abuse.
😢😢😢
This gentleman has been through a living hell and still manages shine like a star❤
spot on
The most gentle souls have been born of suffering... we know what NOT to do and sensitivity near empathic having to grow in a home you must read and observe behaviors
took the words right out of my mouth .
Too scared to fight back
Freeze response, survival instinct
There is no abuse greater than someone who claims to be a good religious person whilst using this to mask evil itself. Thank you for sharing your story you brave brave man.
The world is full of sociopaths who want power over others, in this case, a captured audience of young children.
Religion is the problem
The foundation of all religions is abuse. Abuse of the word of God. Men taking the so called word of god and using it to abuse women and children and ppl of other faiths.
Yeah, atheists & secularists like to talk about religion as if they are all the same but they aren’t. They are totally different. This is JWs we are talking about here. So why don’t you get a clue?
@@aclark903Eh? Most religions have inherent evils among them. Don't think your religion gets a free pass because it isn't perceived (by you) as strict, orthodox or extreme.
I can’t understand why someone would harm children in this way. So sickening. I’m so glad he’s doing much better now. Sending love ❤
study psychology and u'll find out
That's called UNTREATED MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. Thank your government for not funding that. You're welcome.
You can not understand? The history of child abuse around the globe is astounding. One of the most common medical procedures in Victorian England was repairing ruptured anus on little boys who were handed over to pedorast men to toughen them up.
Especially when they claim to be Christians. ( or other religious cults)
It is typical predator behaviour. Abuse the weakest. It's vile.
That holiday in Orlando was probably the worst torment of all because that's psychological abuse to go from extreme abuse to loving and back to torture
There is no way she didn't sell those children to sexual predators in Florida. Business class flights across the Atlantic, theme parks, swimming with dolphins, fancy villas with pools, all with no income? That beggars belief, if you ask me that crazy psycho trafficked her own kids.
Very true! Physical scars heal but the psychological abuse she inflicted on them will probably never go away but be managed, for some. For others, they’ll be living hell for the rest of their lives!
What an awful woman!
literally. so so evil for her to do that.
Well said
Interestingly, the nazis applied this exact same technique.
Exactly why there should be surprise visits from social workers and mandatory physicals throughout the year. If pulled out of public (or private) school - they need to find out why. There are so many red flags and nobody wants to get involved?
I went to school with a girl that was in a family like this. She didn't say a word until she was 18 and could go the authorities. She stayed until 18 because she had to protect all the younger siblings.
😢😭
Imo, CPS is lazy and too scared to do the job correctly 🎉
@theresaohman7187 Totally agree, especially in Los Angeles County where I live.
@@naomiemoore5725I don't doubt you, but it's a nationwide problem.
The entire system needs a major overhaul!
@@joannbowden6220 And I agree wholeheartedly. It makes me sick that people are paid poorly and abused.
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how incredible the interviewer is in this series. She puts all guests at ease and asks every question in a sensitive manner. The series itself is a fantastic addition to the channel.
Yes I would like to see this Lady
Where She finding these guests?
Exactly my thought as well. So controlled and measured. It's hard finding interviewers who empathise just enough.
My biological father was abused by my biological grandmother his entire life, in horrific, similar ways, until he turned 13 and ran away, and was homeless until his early 20's....and even though he was an amazing, loving, good man, he was never able to be an actual father to me and my brother...the little we saw him, it felt like being with a friend, not a parent.... i think something about being abused by a parent, made it impossible for him to be an actual parent himself... he passed away when i was in my early 20s, but now, as a parent myself, i am always amazed at the love he was able to give to us... because it could not have been easy... Christophers story reminds me a lot of my fathers.... But it is beyond amazing to see that Christopher is able to be an actual father to his son, and breaks those walls down.... its amazing, and he should be so proud if himself for it... what an amazing man♥
It’s amazing that you have so much empathy for your dad, when you could be bitter and angry with him♥️
When I heard that Victoria took her own life, I completely lost it. That woman took everything from these children… I know she will rot in any religion’s hell. I am so deeply horrified and upset.
I read Victoria's book a few years ago and it went into quite some detail of the horrifying sadistic abuse Eunice would inflict. I felt a deep sadness when I found out Victoria took her own life. Utterly tragic.
@@Cottonball-gz4cr theyll make one for eunice
@@ria2159what’s the book called please I thought this story felt familiar and that I’d read it before
What's the title of Victoria's book .I'd like to find it
@@racheltaylor8235 Tortured. (I think)
What a beautiful quote to come from a once tortured soul "Just because you're not feeling love right now, does not mean it doesn't exist". This lad has a beautiful outlook on life despite that horrendous woman, somehow I get the feeling he'll be alright. Truly Amazing & inspirational!!
What a horrible story. You can tell he still blames himself for part of it. Really sad that people can treat an innocent child like that.
yes! it was very interesting listening to how he has processed some bits of it but the torture was so gruesome and prolongued he still reacts with guilt or as a child to other bits of it. There's evil in this earth and most of it is hiding in religions.
I m amazed how he actually managed to survive mainly mentally and not to becoming an addict or abuser himself.
This gentleman deserve more from life.
Talking about justice, just shame on you judges who couldn't give enough justice to this poor children.
I think it is not the judges fault, it is the fault of the law. The law should be much stricter with such cases of child abuse.
As an ex Jehovah's witness who left home at 13 due to abuse my heart goes out to this young man for the extent of what he suffered. Absolutely wonderful to hear he's found joy in love of his son.
I am also an ex JW . I was physically and emotionally abused by my dad.
When I see these comments my heart becomes saddened. I wish I could hug you all. I grew up as a JW, but when I became older I left for my own reason. I wish you all are doing great now ❤
Fellow ex jw who left home at 16
@@rubiperk1103 bless you.
I’m in a Jehovah’s Witness family right now been raised in it my whole life, I’m so excited to get out when I’m old enougy
I escaped my abusive family when I was 23 after years of believing I had to save for a mortgage first. Stay strong. Try to speak to someone who is perhaps not a JH to get an outside perspective. Good luck.
If you are being abused, tell a teacher!
Are you being abused? You need to talk to a social worker, the police and those in charge of the religion! Then find a good therapist and start healing yourself so you can have a happy life and good relationships.
@@lauriemarvelno cannot speak to those in charge of the religion! It will be even worse! You won’t be believed or they will question the parents and they will make his/her life even harder
If youre being abused you need to tell someone. The religion doesnt teach abuse
Why is Eunice spry released and only did a reduced sentence? She should've gotten life in prison, and subjected to the same torture she subjected these poor innocent kids to. She never should have been introduced back to society can you imagine the damage she's potentially doing right now ? Plus the C-PTSD caused in these 3 people that must be ongoing. 80,000 doesn't cover even a day of the torture she enacted 😢
Christopher and the other survivors are amazing to be able to share their experiences and share awareness on abuse and how awful it can be so we can learn and make sure if we see any signs we speak up
the only reason she's out is because she poses no danger to no one, so idk what you're talking about
yeah i was gonna say how dumb of a comment that was. @@wasd3108
@@wasd3108looks like we found someone in her unfortunate gene pool 😂
@@TombRaider666 the fact is, you are not smart and you have no critical thinking
@@wasd3108no risk or not. If you was tortured drowned, burnt, starved and beat with wepons aswel as having your sister pushed to her death would you want her release!? The woman destroyed at least 3 lives and may have even pimped the children out in America. How can you say she poses no risk she should never see day light again!
Omg, 7 yrs total 4 the insane amount of abuse. That is utter, and complete bullsh*t
I'm not gonna lie. This story hit me hard. Something in me broke after hearing him saying all of these indescribable things he went through. He is smiling in spite of his unimaginable trauma. Unbelievable, simply unbelievable. I never comment on videos but this one is just something else... I had to comment because THIS MAN is the strongest human being I've probably ever seen. I'm so happy to know that now he has a beautiful baby boy. He deserves THE WORLD after the hell he experienced.
😭 She must have forgot to read the part of the Bible that says PARENTS, DO NOT PROVOKE YOUR CHILDREN TO WRATH. What an absolute borderline psycho.
I was abused by my mother. This was the 80s. I begged to go with my dad. The courts didnt let me. My mom tortured me. She especially hated me because I was her son and she had been raped by mostly men throughout her life and took it out on me. She tortured me by locking me in a closet. Telling me she cooked and fed my dad to me. Slapping me in the face. Beating me when I made a sound. She took scissors and snipped my penis when I was in the bathtub. She always said she wanted to snip my penis off and would grab the scisssors and snap them to intimidate me. She would say "I brought you into this world, I can take you out".... she was OBSESSED with cutting my penis off so much that I woke up and found her in my room standing over me with the scissors. She would wait at the edge of my bed and bite my toes and tell me demons were gonna have my soul. When i get older she would do psychological torture like playing music loud all night when i had school. I dont really trust women after all of this. If you notice women are actually the colder ones. We expect to be nurtured by them but thats just cultural conditioning. 😢😢😢 god help all the little boys being abused by wretched witch mothers. I hope they have to answer to god for the evil they have done.
My god, that quote brings up so many memories of my mom yelling that back at my dad when he tried to justify beating us. Honestly gives me a pit in my stomach even today after he’s been dead for five years now. I haven’t heard that passage leave her lips since, but I still remember
How sick that anyone would use the Bible to justify beating children. God will not be pleased. I hope you’re able to find some semblance of healing. The Lord Jesus can turn our suffering into a path to sainthood. @@julianalanfrey8965
borderline?
Not sure what about this behavior is “borderline”. Please research what borderline is, it’s not THIS.
This breaks my heart. I wish so badly he and those other children never endured this torture. It’s absolutely terrible.
Little children. Left me weeping.
Thank you, Christopher, for sharing your story. I was taken from my mother during the 60's Scoop in Canada. My foster family did horrific things to me including attempting to kill me twice - once by drowning. I found a curious release listening to you. I have kept those experiences to myself and have never spoken of them to anyone. You're an amazing person and you give me hope! Kindest regards to you and LADbible.
ThanksYou ☺️

Wishing you healing ❤

14 YEARS?? The justice system is a joke
And served 7.. that’s insane
It’s always leaner on women .
That who're got only 7
For destroying and torturing children?!?! Unreal
It's infuriating but the justice system can't dish out whatever they want, they have to apply the law.
Thank you Christopher for having the courage to speak out. I'm 62 and no longer speak to my mother. 4 years now. I have forgiven her in my head. But never want to see her again.
I was raised as a JW. It is true that the religious brainwashing is pretty intense. 6 hours a week every week at church plus bible studies & door knocking. I experienced absolutely no abuse and the JWs surrounding me were lovely people. The most disturbing part for me was how they isolate people who leave the religion from their families in an attempt to emotionally control them to come back into the “fold”.
Very sad story ❤
His abuse wasn't because of religion. It's because this woman was a sadist.
@@amandabeaty1492I agree that this abuse is totally on another level. “Sadist” is an apt word to describe her. However, I do believe, from my personal experience and observation, that physical abuse (as well as mental and emotional abuse) is common among Jehovah’s Witnesses. They teach that the father has the right to use corporal punishment against his children.
I was raised as a JW. I have horrible abuse stories. My parents beat the ever loving poo out of me and my siblings ever other day. They’d also scare us into telling on each other. It’s is or perhaps was a common thing your told in the religion, “You will have that persons blood on your hands if you don’t tell anyone of their wrong doings.” Also the verse “Spare the rod spoil the child” was often used to justify the abuse. We are to appear nice and loving but everyone is different behind closed doors. Other kids in the JW children who were my friends were abused as well. Most of my friends raised in the religion left. I did as well. It disturbs me how people can harm a child. I don’t get it.
@@bluehorizons8913 That's terrible. It's not my experience and it's not the experience of the kids I grew up with either.
My abuse started at age 5 in the care System, in multiple homes. I just thought it was normal and that I'd been taken from my home as punishment for being bad. No-one ever explained anything to me, so i was left to rationalise it in my 5 yr old mind.
Those years have never left me. I still have issues with being hungry or being disrespected or any kind of perceived injustice. Im single at 57 and doubt I will ever feel comfortable being in a relationship or accepting love.
Human beings are so intensely evil to one another and yet I still have hope for humanity. Bless this young man and I'm so happy that he is finding some peace in his life.
I felt so sad reading your message. You still have plenty of life left in you. I know therapy isn't for everyone, but worth considering if you haven't already. I've been having it on and off for years, but have finally settled with a charity that provides low cost counselling - they are prepared to work with me for as long as I need as I was chronically abused throughout childhood and beyond. Our brains are clever - they can be rewired but sometimes we need outside help. Hope you're able to feel comfortable in a relationship one day. It sounds corny but you can start with the relationship with yourself.
You seem like such a sweet person after all that horrible abuse😊. Keep loving your new life and yes, love is real and it is awesome and you are breaking the cycle of abuse by being a good father to your little one! You should be proud of yourself❤
So well said and I absolutely agree!👍🏻🌟❤
Somehow I was able to keep it together because I was enraged but then he said “just because you aren’t feeling love now doesn’t mean love doesn’t exist” and now I’m crying at my desk trying to start work. As someone who was abused and neglected I too needed to hear that as a child and apparently even still as an adult. ❤
I hope you are able to heal and know love. Blessings to you
My parents were very mentally emotionally neglectful of me when I was growing up, they didn't do anything this bad but I was called all the names under the sun at times and referred to as an IT, I didn't get beaten up or anything but words and just how cold they were can be just as harmful, and my dad used to say that i should think myself lucky i didn't get beaten up like he did with his dad, I have my own boys now and I broke the cycle and I could never ever in a million years hurt them, I do everything for them to make them feel loved and happy, I could never ever want my boys to ever feel unwanted and unloved the way I used to feel, I just don't know how you could hurt a child like I can't fathom it at all, some people are cruel and heartless and inhumane, I hope this poor guy is doing ok now away from that evil old hag
CHRIS......you are a true inspiration. I could cry after listening to your story. The courage and resilience you have shown is beyond compare. Thank you for being you! You are an inspiration ✨️
After what he has been through he still manages to light the room with his charisma and positivity. Real hero 💙
I can’t even begin to imagine what physical and emotional trauma Chris and his siblings experienced, thank you for sharing
He looks like such a good man. I hope life is treating you better. You deserve a happy life ♥️
I remember reading the book on this! Absolutely awful things they endured and incredible the way he can speak about this so bravely. What a strong man he has become, I hope he finds some sort of peace and happiness
Sheer evil. Just sheer, pure, unfiltered evil. I don't even have the words for what was done to those poor kids 😭
i’m so sorry to hear that happened to you and that you had to live with that monster. You are so brave to speak up, and you seem like a nice, compassionate person. I hope you end up with a nice life and someone who treats you lovingly.
I was a JW for a decade. This fellow was abused by a terrible person, and her religion was an excuse for it. I knew a lot of JW families that were quite gentle and kind with their kids. This woman was just a psycho. I am a former JW, as I said. I have nothing to do with them for other reasons. I feel so bad for this guy. I hope he has a good life now. ❤️
I've heard nothing but horrible things about JW
Becoming a parent after being abused as a child is so bitter sweet. Really makes you look at your own upbringing with a different perspective. I will never understand how someone can hurt a child.
Thank you for sharing your story. Im so sorry you and your siblings had to go through that

SUPREMELY EVIL especially when it comes from the mother
I hate this country. 7 years for the crimes she committed. She should never have been released.
I totally agree. 7 years is pathetic. Absolutely pathetic 🤬🤬🤬🤬
we should start a petition so Eunice goes back to jail
Or invite her to go on a cruise 🚢

Off you go then…. Talks cheap
Whenever I see interviews by Christopher, I’m always in awe of how just exudes sunshine and kindness ☀️
I know there’s a Nature Vs Nurture argument, and many horrible people use that as mitigating circumstance for their behaviour but I don’t think I’ve ever personally met someone with as much empathy & wholesomeness as Christopher and after the ‘hand’ he was dealt; nobody has excuses.
I just feel so sad as a mum to a 6 year old boy, picturing little Chris 🥺 I know it’s not the principle - but I hope he got compensated by Social Services and everyone else in authority who failed him, Alloma and Victoria 😔
He is so sweet now, can’t imagine how sweet and innocent he would have been as a child. Why? Why would she go out of her way to take in children just to abuse them? 😢 I just would love to know the reason. Then again, we probably wouldn’t be able to comprehend the enjoyment they seem to get out of it. I’m glad he’s here today and sharing his story. I wish he didn’t have a story to share. Good look to this brave man.
Evil people hate those who are genuinely good and want to snuff that goodness out of them and make them turn bitter and evil, just like them. Its very Luciferian.
That woman would have been a sadist whether she was a JW or not. They do True Crime shows on people like her.
I was sent away as a child, a bit older at age 9, to a boarding school. It was terrible. The headmaster was not shy to punish us. Stomping feet, spankings, sit ups for hours, running hills. What a piece of shit the dude was. And the older kids would dole out punishments to those smaller then themselves. But I hear this guy talk about his childhood and I feel guilty. Those poor kiddos had it terrible. God bless them and all that have had to deal with abuse as children
So sorry you went through that abuse. You are brave educating the public
My childhood wasn't perfect, but compared to this man"s experience I now understand the difference between parents who tried to do the best they could and pure evil. Christopher and his siblings - my heart goes out to you. Speaking about your torture & torment will help others I am sure, and I pray they find their inner strength to tell a teacher or someone else to begin the end of their abuse. God bless you Christopher, and thank you ❤ ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing this Christopher, I wish you all the best!
He’s been through so much and he is still such a beautiful soul. She didn’t and couldn’t take that from him. I hope he has a great life.
I’m glad you survived Chris!
I’m glad that you didn’t die and finally are in a happy place.
There’s so many kids being tortured by their biological parents and foster parents and even siblings and they end up never leaving that environment and end up dead.
This is heartbreaking that someone can be this cruel towards anyone and then loose his sister on top of it all. I juat want to wish you all the best❤
what a wicked and evil woman 😡 I'm soooo sorry you and the other children went through all that horrendous torture! Thankful that you survived.
Heartbreaking. I hope Christopher has a great rest of his life with his lovely family. I love these videos, it's fantastic to listen to real people talk about their lives and experiences. Also, I've noticed that all these wonderful people who've gone through so much always has one thing in common; they have all found something beautiful in their hardships.
Child abuse happens in all walks of life and religion and how anyone who believes in God can commit these horrific violence against children is evil and are more onside of the devil
I think you are one of the strongest people on this channel mate, I watch a lot. Well done on the interview, you should be so so proud. Love to you and your young family. X

Ok I have finished watching this after seeing your insta post LADbible and honestly he is such a strong man. You can see he has been mentally ruined as well as physically but I am proud of him becoming a father and showing his son life is meant to be lived with love & joy 🙌🏼.
Thank you, Christopher. This would have been horrible to live through and tough to remember. I appreciate your strength and wish you all the best from here on in!
She should have been given 14 years for each child she abused!!
You qualified for that comment
What an amazing survivor. Sending my utmost respect and hope for a bright future full of the love you so deserve. Thank you for your honest bravery in telling your story ❤
Thank you for sharing your story Christopher. You are truly incredible, especially to be able to have love in your life after so much pain. I’m so sorry for your loss and for all you and your siblings suffered.
Omg! What a lovely man. Bless yr heart. She didn't kill yr spirit. What an absolute witch , evil, wicked and a bully.
I've got 2 kids. I can't imagine either of them with an indelible mark that a beating would erase. I thought I understood this intellectually but the idea that he internalized and accepted this as normal and even defended it was shocking. And recognizing the abuse of another over himself is just so empathic and so good. If there is a hell, Eunice has done everything to ensure she goes there. And it is truly awful that somebody must live that term here on earth for being born in the wrong place and time. All that love he was denied will go into that child. What a wonderful bond that must be.
Thank you Christopher for sharing your story! I wish only love and happiness for yourself and your family ❤
I have the same pattern to say my story like a story and dissociate when I have to feel my feelings. You are strong. Thank you for sharing. That helps others too 💜
Oh, man...what an inspiration. I'm absolutely certain you will be the most amazing father to your son. Sending so much love and hope for healing.
This man is such a warrior. Strength & resilience personified
thank you for sharing your story. It will help others who had a similar childhood
What a horrific life this brave young man endured. I can only hope he finds peace, love and happiness going forward. ♥️
Sometimes there are people that you want to reach out and hug. You want to hug them and comfort them and give them a shoulder. Christopher is one of those people.
Im sorry you experienced this horrendous abuse. God bless you and your sisters. You seem like a lovely man. X Sending you all loveband peace for your futures.x
What a brave bloke. An absolute hero for talking about this and spreading the word. Well done for becoming a father and breaking the cycle. If you happen to see this, you are a hero, mate.
You are a true warrior in the most primal sense
You have been thru things no human or animal should see
I am so glad that you have been blessed with your own little boy ❤️
You are ‘love’ personified - the love you possess inside is what pulled you through all this wickedness - I am so sorry that such a loving person as you have turned out to be was treated so appallingly 😢
You found pleasure in the things that surrounded you( like the sun and the fields and dipping your feet in the stream in the summer months)
I pray God will bless the rest of your life and that you have a wonderful life with your wife and your little boy and that if it is meant to be that you have a sister or brother for your little boy ❤️❤️❤️ you are amazing and what you went through was horrific and you have come out of this in tact and with ‘love’ still in your heart ❤️
I am sad for your plight but I am glad you survived and got through so you can now witness the ‘love’ you knew in your little heart all those years ago would be there xxxxx
All the love in the world to you ❤️
I have the upper most respect for this man, what he has seen n experienced in life, yet such a respectful polite humble young man. I hope the future is better for you. I’m a child abuse survivor too, it’s not easy, but you’re smashing it x
Bless him🥺
I grew up as a Jehovah witness.. I was severely abused mentally and physically. The healing process takes time. I feel for you. I feel your pain
What an inspirational man - thank you for sharing your story.
I don't understand how people like Eunice are still alive today. All the victims have amazing restraint
I almost cried when he started talking about his son. I can relate a lot to the doubts he shared about parenthood as an abuse survivor but I’m so happy he gets to be a dad now. I bet he’s a wonderful parent. You go Christopher!
Eyeroll.
Omg what a strong and a wise soul you are. Thanks for sharing your story. You are truly brave. Sending you love and light 💚🌟
You poor kids, abuse is disgusting and painful for the victims and affects their entire life in all of their relationships. This was no Jehovah’s Witness, this was a psychopath in disguise as a JW. She wanted to look like a good person to hide her demon self! It’s sickening. Lots of love to you kids, ❤
Where was social services?? Probably finding easier targets to persecute.
I thought my childhood was awful but this is unimaginable. I feel violent towards this woman🤬😡
Christopher, you are an amazing young man. Take care, be safe and be happy ❤❤
I would just like to say THANK YOU to Christopher. You sir are an inspiration. You are proof that wonderful people can come from horrid situations. Please continue to live YOUR life to its fullest & PLEASE continue to be kind & loving. So happy to see you survived & continue to stride for happiness
Congratulations to this lovely human ❤
May you find only kind and respectful people on your path from now on

Such an inspirational guy after going through so much ❤
can’t help to comment on what a genuine, down to earth resilient man. Thank you for your courage and for speaking out. i hear so many hope or stories of J.Witness
Love DOES exist, it truly does; beyond the family, beyond the abuse. It's out there, but it starts with finding it within yourself first. Abusers tend to try to control everything about you, not allowing you any sort of autonomy whatsoever, and unfortunately they often succeed. Take back your power, and put yourself and your needs first. You deserve it. Tragic story, and yet all too relatable to survivors of various form of abuse; psychological and emotional, as well as physical. Thanks so much for sharing your story with us, you are so very much honored and loved.
