I grew up in housing commission in Waterloo and Redfern. Expelled at fifteen. In and out of custody through my teens and twenties. Years I'm never getting back.
I've spent the last nine years rebuilding all of it from nothing. No licence, no passport, no savings, no idea how any of it worked.
I'm telling the whole thing in order so my kids know exactly who their father is.
This page is for anyone who
Has given up the drink, or is trying to
Is in recovery, or has come out the other side
Has done time, or is still carrying a record
Is a single dad, or fighting to stay in their kids' lives
Grew up with nothing and worked life out on their own
Is working class and still grinding
Kept their loyalty when it cost them
Lost people along the way and kept going
Has had a hard life and is still standing
If any of that's you, you're not the only one. Start at episode one.
