It was 1969 when my whole life dramatically changed, this was the year we moved to Coventry in hopes for a better life. But in reality it was just the beginning of a journey filled with abuse, torture, torment and hell. #abuse #survivor #religioustrauma #trauma #catholicabuse

Stealing Lives was written to expose the evil that hides within the churches, dressed as religious figures and spewing virtues of God. In reality they abuse, torture, rape and kill children in Gods name and get away with it. Vulnerable children were targeted as they were easy to

It is time survivors were given the opportunity to heal and find peace. With the ideology of these organisations they just want survivors to disappear and remain silent. Probably why I will not make it in their “ideal survivor” list. I will continue to shout until I am heard!
