Most of all I appreciate my beloved wife Eva who accepts me as I am with my brain injury. I am happy at last.

I had my TBI when I was 13 in 1983 and have been just about coping ever since. I'm not at all angry with my UK family who all abandoned me and forced me to just get on with life, they did the right thing in the end. My journey nearly ended when I tried to visit my dad in Australia (he had wanted to emigrate the whole family for a new start) by boat from the Philippines. Having a brain injury (which I was unaware was affecting me at the time) I did not read any FCO travel advice. The simple truth is if Eva had not been there for me then I would not be here now. We are now planning our life together with our beloved children once we can overcome the hostile UK environment (immigration problems). The FCO and Home Office needs to know that in my case there is nobody else to look after me and my children. Many families are affected by the Hostile Environment and it is doubly difficult for the disabled. Most of all I am so grateful that my wife puts up with all this nonsense from the UK and stays with me. Most of all she supports my work for The Commonwealth by The Grace of God !
