As a mother, a foster carer, a therapist and a fairly compassionate human being, I often watch the world in horror, as judgements are made about others disregarding the path they walked in their childhood. Often we express outrage at child abuse but when the effects of that abuse play out in that child during adolescents and into adulthood, suddenly all compassion dries up – we get convenient amnesia to make way for righteous outrcries – forgetting the horrors that person may have been raised in.
For my guest today, the conditioning that was set in motion during their horrifically violent childhood wasn’t to be an abuser but a criminal. Every cell in his being was conditioned for crime, patterns violently forced upon him by his career criminal father. Along the way there were other harmful habits but the one that wove most deeply into Ron Isherwood was crime. His last stint in prison began in 2002 when he was sentenced to 18 years for conspiracy to import cocaine.
Through it all, there was a strange and powerful thread in Ron, one in vast contrast to his upbringing – the desire to help others. And now, with his patterns of crime dissolved, helping others is his fulltime gig. Ron is the creator and founder of The Truth About Addiction and the author of Born Into A Lie Of Crime. This tale is of movie-esque proportions, full of grit and wisdom. So sit back and take it all in. This is not your everyday conversation.
