Have a happy New Years family!

[@patrickaussieMilartry]

Happy New Year. Thankyou for giving Every Man and Lady a chance for people to see that no matter how hard things become. There is always someone here to hear your story without any judgement..... And in my opinion ? Actually helping to change lives for the better. It the. Best when someone truly believes there is just 0 ZERO HOPE... But in a few conversations, so much similarity connects within people. So no such thing no hope!!!. There is hope all around. Happy New Year. May more hearts find real inner peace and redemption. It takes a stronger Human to ADMIT when what they see in the mirror is not right...... And go through the hurdles of ups and big downs. To push onto having a better inner being?? Thang hanging onto the life of Hell. Happy New Year.

Someone made your walk of life into a NZ movie this year called ''Coming home in the Dark'' bout the Boys homes back in the day.. adults who were ment to protect and help these young boys knew what was going on, they all knew & most turned a blind eye making our males confused, disturbed, violet, not to be fukd with wicked evil men.. Iv heard alot about you Mike through older family & friends .. bad bad things too, some that u mentioned here, but I heard all the details making you a scary asf human,but hey Im immensely happy for you pulling yourself through, mentally, spiritually, emotionally !!

[@patrickaussieMilartry]

I have to admit I've never been in a boy's home or youth detention centres. But being raped, bashed, terrorised you name it some from the age of 9/10/12/12/13/14/15 years of age. How the FK does that help one to except law and order when that's what the LAW DID? FK ME this shit breaks my heart and would 200% send me on a rampage of destruction. I truly hope sir your story today and the many many many of the same FKNG story find some light in your lives. I personally feel rotten that this is what the governments of Australia and New Zealand did to there young whom were missguided by offering them the above. Now I know for a fact 100s will call me what ever you gotta call me. Sticks and STONES. But as a human being. I'm so sorry what life offered most at the tender age of 15 years and younger. These government's owe $100s if MILLIONS in damages as it was the institutions that bead the current situation. Give these kids pride , love, EMPATHY. HOW THINGS COULD OF BEEN SO MUCH BETTER. AT LEAST NOW SIR YOU CAN SEE THE DARKNESS AND THE LIGHT. ALL THE BEST. YOUR STORY REACHES OUT TO MANY. AND THAT COUNTS . GOOD LUCK EVERYONE. AGAIN IM SORRY WHAT MY GOVERNMENT'S HAVE IMPLEMENTED AND AGAIN THE CYCLE IF DESTRUCTION FROM THERE STUPID CHILDREN LIKE LAWS. 👍👍

[@swingham4020]

I back you 100% bruv, and couldnt give 2 shits for those that will take the moral high ground. I did a lag in tge same jail with Matua in 2015/16 and got nothing but respect for him.

Disgusting how this fella was treated growing up, they try to make people into monsters this system does, that’s why you Dave and The other bros who have turned their life around are the true strength, it’s easy to be a staunch violent animal when you’ve been moulded by the evil system, to turn around and find god, love and peace is true strength.
