Thank you for sharing your story , all the very best ❤

[@haynic7600]

To see you have a proper laugh & giggle, while talking about such horrific things has really touched my heart ❤ I hope you know how amazing you are. Iv got the same sense of humour always crackin a little joke through the worst times of my life. I have so much respect for you. I wish you all the happiness in the world ❤

i liked this dude the seconds he asked if it was ok to swear, considering his upbringing he managed to gain manners and respect for others, love this video, gl to both men

[@marciajones2993]

“A note to anyone who needs to hear it: We don’t ‘get over’ or ‘move on’ from our trauma. We are forced to make space for it. We carry it. We learn to live with it. And, sometimes, we thrive in spite of it.” Much love. 💙💙💙💙

[@Rosebud100]

I agree with you. I have been very successful in my adult life; good career, good marriage, 3 amazing children and now waiting on my first grandchild - despite my traumatic childhood, I just decided that I wasn’t going to repeat the same shit and I even eventually moved to a different country and never looked back!

[@traceybanting3952]

So true, both of these comments! I had a pretty crappy childhood, but I too have raised our 3 sons, enjoyed a career in teaching; in other words, turned the abuse around. Mother tried to be aggressive and talk about the devil to my children. Despite my fear, I refused to allow it though. The only time I was brave was when this happened, and I’m ridiculously proud of it! Well done to all those who not only survived, but turned the abuse around too. We are amazing! ❤

[@Haberdashery22]

Yes you are truly amazing, you have my absolute respect. I wish you brave people everything good you deserve in life.

This man massively hides his pain with laughter, you can see he is still massively taumatised. I use to follow his sister on fb, after reading her book and lucky enough to have a few message exchanges with her before she died. These kids now adults (including victoria) are amazing. I wish them the best life ever ❤

Christopher I'm genuinely lost for words. Considering the life you endured and the pain you have suffered you are such a warm, empathetic and solid man.

Such a cruel women how could all that to children. I feel he is hiding his pain with laughter. Wish his all the best in life.

[@jessw02]

the fact she only served 7 years is crazy, the country is so fucked up

[@donnahetherington3170]

Should have gotten life the sentencing in this country is madness, drug offenders get more time

[@itsthepens]

It bewilders me how not a single one of the attacks was charged as attempted murder. A total failure of the justice system.

[@heidipeters7174]

The justice system is a total joke. I would go as far as saying The justice system is run by people so far out of touch with reality they may as well be on the moon. I’m so proud of this guy Chris for just rising above all this evil and getting on with life. She can’t touch him now. He Shows incredible strength.❤(I hope she gets her come uppance though.

[@lyanneroberts7936]

Absolutely disgusting that she’s released and out in the public now. Christopher is an amazing and empathetic man I wish him all the happiness in the world.

[@suzyvegalicious5646]

Exactly. Why was she given such a light sentence? This is not justice. It should have been life and more.

[@catherinereynolds8061]

Why doesn't he pay her a visit and return her treatment

[@stanstanton6154]

[@BrendaWilkinson-ho8qq]

It does happen but i dont think it is a pre requesite for abuse ...i was abused and i am so passionate about keeping our children safe its unreal ... Good luck to you mate you deserve all the happiness xx

[@louwinters508]

My grandad had a dog too untill they sold him. He came back to my grandad to be with him. He swam miles. Dogs get kids through the abuse and horrific crap they have to put up with. My grandad hated his mum and burnes all her photos. I think she was abusive. One example was she kicked him out and made him sleep on his own at ten. I don't know if that was the norm. But my grandad always came back to her. He visited her and brought his children to visit her. Yet once she died he went nuts and burned all his photos. My dad says she Sexually abused him. And tried to force him into being a minister. I remember my grandad being completely devoid of any sanity. He drank a bottle of whisky a day. But apparently he was a a very smart man. Head of education of his district. But abused, and neglectful, violent. I don't remember my grandad being sober at all. And my parents let me be around this man. He used to scare the shit out of us with horrible stories while pissed. The angry sheep.

[@leighball688]

He is amazing.

[@hettybl]

This guy is an absolute diamond. I wish him all the best. 😊

[@user-jq3mo2yl2w]

James, you have had some extremely courageous men on your podcast and he is deffinatly one of them! That laugh is infectious and he should be so very proud of who he has become.

[@JamesEnglish]

I believe so to he’s a great person

[@rululupeng9903]

I hope this lovely man doesn’t suffer another single minute of his life. Such trauma from someone so evil would destroy a person, but he is just so full of light, it’s really inspiring. This is the 2nd time I’ve heard his story but I was just as shocked and sickened as the first time. Nothing but love and respect to you Chris. Amazing podcast

[@nicolab4996]

This is a joke if she had sold drugs from her farm she would be doing 25 years and have every asset stripped.. there’s no money in locking up an abuser 😡. Excellent interview, heartbreaking that this could happen in this lifetime, Chris should be so proud of himself what a genuine lovely guy 🥲🥰

[@Bobmudu35UK]

Im sure he has dark times,but not many people would come out the other end with such a sense of humour and strength! God bless him and his family.

For anyone who is questioning his story, I went through a very similar experience, to the point where when he was explaining things I was having flashbacks of my life. It's almost like he was talking about my life and I am very messed up now at the age of 34. He's been through a lot and has come a long way, I wish him the best, I know he is still recovering because I still am.

This man, Christopher Spry, is an absolute hero. He inspires me every day. What he endured, at the hands of that evil b!tch, is unimaginable . I’m lucky enough to have him as a friend on Facebook, and get to see his life now. All the best Chris, you’re amazing xxx

Christopher as someone born and bred in Cheltenham and also very aware of your story, I'd just like to say, you are worth a million times more than you were treated.

[@daveclark3337]

The mental strength to talk this openly and honestly without breaking down is amazing

[@moohHa22]

I also think people listen to these stories because if we’ve been through something, it’s comforting to hear people speak about a (somewhat) relatable childhood. I think it also helps us to reflect on how massive some of the things we’ve overcome are, it’s hard to get that contrast in day to day life. Proud of him for being brave enough to share with us x

[@amandarios448]

It gives me hope to see someone who has been through all of this pain to somewhat recover and be well

[@MrsLynB]

What an inspirational man. His humour I think definitely helps him. Whatever person told him kids that where abused also abuse needs locking up! My abuse made me determined to be the best parent I could possibly be. My siblings also are fantastic parents. This young man I can tell is a brilliant dad. Bless him. When you experience love actual true love it heals your soul. His soul is healed. And now he helps others. What an inspiration x

[@Garzza3165]

To go through such utter trauma and come out with the mindset he has is shows just how strong he is. May God bless you Christopher

[@fakiola9184]

This was a masterclass in podcasting. The way in which James approached this one, by the time they wrapped, it felt like we'd been privy to two gentleman having a very deep and meaningful conversation, the way men do...with humour. There was a beauty to it, witnessing Christopher, despite the horrific experiences he had to detail in order for the audience to have a better understanding of the abuse he'd suffered, sitting so comfortable and relaxed because James was able to break through his emotional barrier's creating a safe space for him to share. This one highlights the unique skill James posses' which happens to be the key component when you're tasked with telling a sensitive story such as this. It can't be faked, it can't be forced, it certainly can't t be replicated because you simply have it or you don't. I sense a real friendship was born between these two and I can totally appreciate why. If you take his childhood out of it, all you hear is a down to earth, thoughtful, gentle yet courageous, fun, pint of beer on a Sunday afternoon and a kick about with the boy kind of father, who'd be the best kind of friend or family man to have around. If he can evolve into this wonderful young man given the emotional burdens from his past that he's still healing from today then there's hope for the rest of us. I hope Christopher and his surviving siblings' futures continue to become brighter and that the Anything Goes podcast star keeps rising. Well done both. ❤

[@mandystephenson5748]

The way he tells the story, you can tell he sees it like it was yesterday in his mind. When he talks about the bed frame and the floor boards its as if he's looking at them.

As some one who had a traumatic childhood, nothing as bad as his, but he reminds me of how I speak about my life events, I can literally see it as if I was just in the room yesterday.

My mind is blown that she’s out walking the street and that he has seen her I applaud Christopher for truly being this absolute gem to the world. I loved the comedic way you went about this interview it was a lot easier to take in and I feel Christopher has told his story so many times now you could tell he was very comfortable within your presence. I truly commend your work and find inspiration to do something similar myself I just wouldn’t know where to start at all so if you have any tips and tricks - let a girl know 😏🥰 xxxx

Speechless. My heart goes out to the survivors, the ones that sadly passed. No one should have to go through horrendous times like that. It brings back memories from my abuse and I’m not afraid to talk about it. We survived.. and I urge anyone out there to try and break free if you suffering at anyone’s hands.

Been listening to James for years and have to say that this story is the most saddest sickening sadistic I've ever heard being relayed by the victim that is now so well put back together by self will and bravery and stoicism, its by far the most sadest/inspirational story I've ever heard.

Sorry that you had to go through all this mate, thanks for sharing your story and I reckon that there who are currently being abused or have gone through abusive childhood will be helped because you have shared your story

Wow Chris what a story. In the face of adversity, you thrived. It touched me when you spoke of your happiness having that lovely dog by your side, fishing on the river. As you say that dog really was special and thank goodness for him. What a young man you are, you’ve defied the odds and created your own beautiful life. A credit you are to society and I wish you all the happiness in future, as you say - there is hope after abuse. Stay well my friend ❤

This dude's ability to live his life with this level of trauma is incredible!! He laughs through it all when talking about really difficult stuff, i believe to mask the pain he feels inside. But thats one of the most amazing things about him, many people suffer less and act out badly. I'd say he's a testiment to the people who raised him.. but instead he's a testiment to hinself. Its sad because he'll never be free from the trauma he suffered but he is so awe inspiring at the same time. Because inspite of it all he seems to be thriving, has a kid of his own and is just getting on with life. ❤
