It took for me to lose my children to adoption, being labelled an unfit parent and a diagnosed with EUPD before my traumas were acknowledged.

Being a child to an affiliate of a terrorist organisations meant that I was exposed to violence, drugs and gang activities from 3 years old and sexually abused at 5 years old by a relative known for his involvement with the continuance of this organisation but due to the sealing of records of the highest nature and limited records of my early years, the only justice I will get will be through the work I do now as a lived experience consultant taking part in the reform of family proceedings and delivering training to social care professionals in hopes that whilst my story isn’t common, there are many parents who slipped through the cracks as children experience violence, abuse and exposure to trauma that only ever get brought to light when they become parents themselves.

I go by the name of Azariah Hope and I am the scapegoat.
