Listening to this audiobook, my heart hurts more for Dave. After escaping hell with his mother, he struggles as a foster child. He is moved to and out of countless foster houses and schools. He’s bullied by other foster kids, students, and even adults. His mother even tries to bully him by trying to convince the state that he’s dangerous and he’s to be locked away.
Time and time again, Dave finds himself hanging out with the wrong crowd. The other kids set him up and laugh as he gets into trouble. He only ever had a handful of friends throughout this time. Along with only having a limited amount of friends, only a small amount of adults try to help him.
Regardless of all the bs Dave went through, I’m glad to know that he survived. Not only did he survive, but he joined the military, made a future for himself and had a son. He went through hell, but in the end, they couldn’t break him.
