I was shocked
only by the names I was called, and for the places they'd put me in, and
from where I'd been expelled. I didn't know that. It shocked me, and I think
it makes you different if you know that, it makes you harder than you would
be normally. Some of it is upsetting but I think, for me, it's been great
now that I know most of it.
I think you understand what's going on if nothing else. It helps you in
understanding yourself a lot more. And after being in hospital for over
20 years I think, you know, it makes you a lot stronger when you come out.
It has me anyway, it's made me a lot stronger. It's because of all the things
that you do now that you didn't have the chance to do when you were younger.
It gives you that and, OK, you've got it, you've got it for life, and it
tells you everything. |
