What a top bloke and strong character to come out and admit and face that and then create a new life like that for himself. I hope the guy is doing well. No one should have to face that.
I can relate to a physical nature. I was beaten by my mother and shot with an air gun pelet rifle when was two months olf by my late biological father, I was still being beaten by my mother and step father up until I was 16. I joined the forces as my grandparents where my guardians, they was unaware of the beating, having my head banged against the wall repeatedly and having my ears pulled where they would rip at the ear lobs. I then joined the forces at 16, a year later had the better of my step father, completed the Commando course at 17, joined 148bty in RM Poole, completed my NGA, gained my British and USMC wings (parachute jumps) and when I was struck by an IED in 2011 (not long turned 20) my mother and step father said the most horrible things about my appearance as I was lucky to only suffer with lacerations to ky face, head and right arm, tinnitus and still suffer from PTSD which has been diagnosed. I have not seen them for nearly 12 years and I don't intend to. The forces is a dirty job but the family your make within the forces is like no other. Hat off to the man who endured that punishment from his parents.
Yours is a terrible story, Tony. Like the one relayed on the video - no comforting words available as everything sounds bloody trite and pathetic. My eyes filled on reading it though. I hope you have found someone to love and who loves you. Your strength and honesty is an amazing testament to your spirit, which powers through every adversity. You see a hero in the mirror, dont ever forget that. With great respect, from an old Yorkshire woman.

And now this abused boy has become one of the most dangerous warriors to have existed on earth. With a group of men that love him unconditionally. Something tells me that old pervert had a somewhat shorter lifespan than he would have otherwise.
Shit like that can break your spirit for the rest of your life !! I cannot fathom the strength required to get out of bed everyday and soldier on without wanting to top yourself ..... that man has resilience in bucket loads that most of us will never be able to comprehend !! I have nothing but respect for people like that and am in awe of their stamina to keep going . 🙏🙏✊✊👏👏
Especially when both of those people who are supposed to protect from the evil of the world as child let you down to that level…. Some people who go through that turn into the worst type of psychopath
I'm just surprised that the father survived given the obvious mental strength of the lad. I wouldn't have made it to 16 without a terminal fight, one way or the other.
Know how utterly devastating it is for a child to experience the complete absence of parental care. As a young girl living with CSA from a father who had abused my older three sisters too but also a mother who knew all about it was the ultimate betrayal. For a young lad to endure this is beyond cruel and the fact he was able to make something of his life is commendable. I hope he's doing well and has found some peace in his life.
That's a real man not only did he face his demons he kicked the demons into oblivion and came out stronger 😢 I just hope his so called parents are tormented for the rest of their miserable lives.
90% of Junior leaders (boy soldiers) were from broken homes. Lots of Army guys do well in SF because of the hardships and cruelties they received in growing up. Many more guys who suffer violence as kids turn to crime. Respect to any of the guys who turn it round.
The most amazing thing about that is to join the sas you have to be THE most mentally tough people on the planet. Getting abused like that by your own dad would mess up 99% of people but this man has the mental strength to dedicate himself like this.
Really Bloody Sunday the British Army are despicable disgusting racist scum today revealed their War Crimes in Afghanistan absolute effing Vermin! 6 7 2023.
Brave man for telling the truth! There are people who are living with this kind of thing and more and hiding it like they are to blame! I feel for this man who went through such horror and betrayal!
Usually the quiet commited types who stand on their own feet usually do have hidden stories. He did the right thing getting out and progressing to the story told, just hope his pals gave him the encouragement he needed after admiting that.
Saw him leaving an art gallery in Grey Street, Newcastle. Clocked him straight away as he passed by me. He then never took his eyes off me as he crossed the road to the Theatre Royal and up to the junction. Always switched on !!
I joined the military because i wanted to change my stars. Never regretted it, had some of the best laughs and stories that i will be forever grateful for!
Respect to all of you. It’s interesting why you do it, but I am mainly just glad you do. Not much to be proud of about the U.K. these days, but the ability of the SAS to turn apparent Zeros, into Heroes is inspiring.
Credit that guys honesty One of the tuffets men I no had the same thing happen to him and I’ll say this anyone who’s ever cornered this guy has ended up hurt severely
The guy should be extremely proud of himself making something of his life coming from such an abusive background! What an achievement & hero! An absolute credit to the SAS & our country! 🇬🇧 May God-bless him.
I grew up in what was known as the 5th Edition of S.B. A few blocks from the railroad tracks and under the flight path of airplanes from a major intercontinental airport. Down the block was a guy who joined the USMC at 17. His father was an alcoholic who used him for a punching bag. Did better than others in the neighborhood who end up in "juvie" or jail.
I too left at 16. 34 years old now, an honours degree in business and finance, HNC electrical engineering but settled as a Learning Disabilities Nurse because two boys I was fostered with had complex needs and that always stuck with me. Life is shit but its not how you start but how you choose to finish.
I knew a guy who had the same issues, his dad's dead. Tragic road accident, nothing to do with him as he was deployed. He used to run selection and he's my daughter's godfather and a great bloke. Can't say more as some will know who he is and we can't have that.
I watched a documentary on the SAS and a lot of the troopers had strange backgrounds. Sad to say but I think it’s what made them the best soldiers in the world.

would suggest you thoroughly evaluate the companies you have invested in and their estimated future performance, as we may expect to see the market decline further.
