Attacked by a pedophile, this one sickening event turned into manipulation, brainwashing and Stockholm syndrome that lasted for five years. Nathan’s eight year old self believed the lies and manipulation.  He became very detached from family and friends, very quiet and solitary and more and more attached to his abuser.For many years Nathan never told a soul and kept everything deeply hidden as his life spiralled out of control and into drugs, alcohol and other destructive behaviours.Nathan has written a memoir called Toy Cars.  You can purchase your copy here https://amzn.to/3Px91z5The statistics for child sexual abuse are terrifying and Nathan has been working for years now to get himself to a place where he can use his story to educate and inform others, and bring about much needed change. If you have a story to share for this podcast please connect with me at www.instagram.com/mybigloveproject or send an email to [email protected].
