What a top bloke and strong character to come out and admit and face that and then create a new life like that for himself. I hope the guy is doing well. No one should have to face that.

And his Mum. Both need punished.

100 reasons to be tough. That one takes it.

I can relate to a physical nature. I was beaten by my mother and shot with an air gun pelet rifle when was two months olf by my late biological father, I was still being beaten by my mother and step father up until I was 16. I joined the forces as my grandparents where my guardians, they was unaware of the beating, having my head banged against the wall repeatedly and having my ears pulled where they would rip at the ear lobs. I then joined the forces at 16, a year later had the better of my step father, completed the Commando course at 17, joined 148bty in RM Poole, completed my NGA, gained my British and USMC wings (parachute jumps) and when I was struck by an IED in 2011 (not long turned 20) my mother and step father said the most horrible things about my appearance as I was lucky to only suffer with lacerations to ky face, head and right arm, tinnitus and still suffer from PTSD which has been diagnosed. I have not seen them for nearly 12 years and I don't intend to. The forces is a dirty job but the family your make within the forces is like no other. Hat off to the man who endured that punishment from his parents.

Know how utterly devastating it is for a child to experience the complete absence of parental care. As a young girl living with CSA from a father who had abused my older three sisters too but also a mother who knew all about it was the ultimate betrayal. For a young lad to endure this is beyond cruel and the fact he was able to make something of his life is commendable. I hope he's doing well and has found some peace in his life.

Shit like that can break your spirit for the rest of your life !!

This reveals how much trust they have in each other.

That’s fucking heartbreaking. Poor lad.

That's a real man not only did he face his demons he kicked the demons into oblivion and came out stronger 😢 I just hope his so called parents are tormented for the rest of their miserable lives.

Heartbreaking what an adult is willing to do to a child, even their own flesh and blood. 💔💔💔

That lad was at home, open and honest with his true family. ❤😊

90% of Junior leaders (boy soldiers) were from broken homes. Lots of Army guys do well in SF because of the hardships and cruelties they received in growing up. Many more guys who suffer violence as kids turn to crime. Respect to any of the guys who turn it round.

Someone always has it worse and its never the one who starts the complaining

The most amazing thing about that is to join the sas you have to be THE most mentally tough people on the planet. Getting abused like that by your own dad would mess up 99% of people but this man has the mental strength to dedicate himself like this.

Damn, it’s really telling he was willing to tell them that.

So this lad was brave in so many ways and including speaking out and putting it all behind him .. thank you for your service you fine young man !

Churns ya stomach!! So glad he got out of that situation and did good with his life!!

Good for him to leave an evil situation and seek a better life.

Tough lad...😢

This realm is a horrible place for some

I joined the military because i wanted to change my stars. Never regretted it, had some of the best laughs and stories that i will be forever grateful for!

Usually the quiet commited types who stand on their own feet usually do have hidden stories. He did the right thing getting out and progressing to the story told, just hope his pals gave him the encouragement he needed after admiting that.

That young man showed such courage and bravery. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE SIR. ❤️

Saw him leaving an art gallery in Grey Street, Newcastle. Clocked him straight away as he passed by me. He then never took his eyes off me as he crossed the road to the Theatre Royal and up to the junction. Always switched on !!

A man that goes thru shit like this is always fearing himself more than anyone else. I know

Hat's off to the lad for fighting through. A lot of us joined to get away, not knowing what to do or where they fit in as civvi.

Credit that guys honesty One of the tuffets men I no had the same thing happen to him and I’ll say this anyone who’s ever cornered this guy has ended up hurt severely

I could get through life without hearing something like that...how do you ever look at that guy again without thinking about it

Total respect 😢

I knew a guy who had the same issues, his dad's dead. Tragic road accident, nothing to do with him as he was deployed. He used to run selection and he's my daughter's godfather and a great bloke. Can't say more as some will know who he is and we can't have that.

That poor lad.hope he paid his dad back big time.and disowned his so called mum.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That soldier 100% didn't fear death anymore.

Respect for that guy to admit his abuse but I think his new family the team will heal him 👍

How brave of this Soldier saying that.

I grew up in what was known as the 5th Edition of S.B. A few blocks from the railroad tracks and under the flight path of airplanes from a major intercontinental airport. Down the block was a guy who joined the USMC at 17. His father was an alcoholic who used him for a punching bag. Did better than others in the neighborhood who end up in "juvie" or jail.

Jesus Christ, I thought I heard it all, this takes sickening to another level.

I watched a documentary on the SAS and a lot of the troopers had strange backgrounds. Sad to say but I think it’s what made them the best soldiers in the world.

I too left at 16. 34 years old now, an honours degree in business and finance, HNC electrical engineering but settled as a Learning Disabilities Nurse because two boys I was fostered with had complex needs and that always stuck with me. Life is shit but its not how you start but how you choose to finish.

Speechless. Anything I could say in response to that would sound trite.

Pretty brave and incredible that he said that. Awesome guy

I know of a couple individuals in the states that this was thier reason for joining our military...Sad state of affairs😢

My boyfriend did same things and he is English. He had a horrible family, and he wants to leave that house, and he joins the army after all he got medal for serving in 1997 in Bosnia.

The army or prison are the two main alternatives for men from nightmarish lives. Sad, but that's life sadly.

Thank god for that...thought he was going to say he hated Scotland.

There are tough men on this island, we threw our best twice in mechanised warfare and now we have paid with our very home.
