Sobre IBD

From a childhood riddled with trauma to a battle for identity, independence, and truth, They Tried to Break Me is the unfiltered memoir of Matthew Petchinsky-a survivor of emotional, physical, and psychological abuse at the hands of those who were supposed to protect him.Born with hydrocephalus and forced into a world of silence and suffering, Matthew endured horrific betrayals from babysitters, family members, step-parents, and a system that repeatedly failed him. Told with brutal honesty and unwavering courage, his story shines a light on the hidden hell many endure behind closed doors.This is not a tale of pity-it is a declaration of endurance. Through mental health crises, misdiagnosed pain, forced religion, and emotional neglect, Matthew finds his voice in writing, his strength in survival, and his purpose in becoming the father he never had.They Tried to Break Me is a powerful testament to the human spirit. It’s not just one man’s story-it’s a lifeline for anyone who has ever been silenced, disbelieved, or pushed aside.You’ll be haunted. You’ll be inspired. And you’ll never forget his name.Matthew Petchinsky speaks-because silence is no longer an option.
