'Adam'

'Adam'

Name: 'Adam'
Age: 24
Year of the Fix: 2015
Location: Coleraine
Campaign: To break the cycle of abuse

I lived in an abusive household when I was a child, which had a big effect on me.

 

I would get angry, I felt like my aggressive side became more prominent and I was afraid of turning into the type of abusive person I had lived with.

 

After attending sessions, I was ready to share my message and encourage others to break this cycle of abuse.

 

Growing up in a hostile environment should not determine your personality as a future parent.

 

I want to urge others to give their own children a better family experience than they might have personally had.
