I DONT have what they said I HAD tells the heartbreaking true story of Julian. A healthy boy whose life is forever altered by his mothers manipulative actions. By falsifying parental authority, she removes his father from the picture and, through fabricated diagnoses, has him wrongfully placed in an institution for the mentally disabled. The book follows Julians struggle to uncover the truth and reclaim his identity. With the support of his father and his fathers new wife, he embarks on a challenging journey to break free from his mothers destructive grip.
When she abuses him once again, he severs all contact with her. Despite numerous attempts through the legal system and child protection services, justice remains elusive, these institutions believe her lies. This gripping story not only reveals one boys fight against injustice but painfully exposes how systems meant to protect can fail."
