Guest Writer: Frederick Miller
I'm only human. I've only got one feeling left. I've been abused most of my life. In the beginning it was the so-called caregivers, the provincial government, peers and my father. For taking all that abuse like a good little boy I was given the gift of a lifetime of prison, drug addiction, failed relationships, loneliness and homelessness. I'm a lucky man. I'm still alive and I'm able to share these experiences to help others.
It's better than being suicidal and depressed. My addictions are coming to an end. I'm grateful for life.
