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....

After I was born, he started making up excuses to get out of the house. And my mom basically had to raise me on her own because he was never home. He just couldn't handle being a parent, and I also concluded that it must've been like a trauma response.

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 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.

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. ❤️

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 😔

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.

I read his book around 14 years ago whilst at university and it deeply moved me, and stuck with me. I messaged him on sm, he responded and was so lovely. When back in my home town of Gloucester i walked past him down a street in town and had to double take. I was in such of of his bravery and ability to keep living. I really hope he is doing well now.

The fact that he can't remember what happened during their vacation really hit home for me. The first time someone told me about some of the abuse I experienced as a child, I was completely shocked. Apparently, I've been severely abused, physically and emotionally, up until the age of 10. I've been forced to wash my clothes in the toilet, forced to eat worms and snails directly from the ground, given cold showers... and I barely remember any of it at all.

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.
