My father David Bigg’s behaviour was disgraceful. Read this at my funeral.

 It’s important to remember. It’s important to remember how disgraceful my father David Bigg’s behaviour was.

If it was not for the money that he stole from me. My father stole from me.

If he had not stolen from me, I would not have been so poor.

I went cold and hungry and afraid for three years.

One of the reasons I couldn’t borrow any more money as a student to support myself and feed myself is because my father David Bigg lied. David Bigg Lied. He said that he that I lived with him. And because I lived with him, he got tax credit While I was living there and I was a student. My father changed the locks when I was 18. I was not living there. I could not live there. I had no access. Moreover, my sister was living there. And it was a two bedroom house. My sister was in one bedroom with her boyfriend. And my father was in the other bedroom. There was not a bedroom for me. And I had no key.

Because I was deemed to be living with my dad, the amount of money I could obtain was reduced. But I got no support from my dad, which is what the reduction was meant to represent. And I have nowhere to live in between terms. Which is also what the reduction was meant to represent. I was homeless and robbed of a support grant. 

It’s important to remember this because a lot of time has passed and it’s easy to forget but while I’ve never forgotten how hard it was and it has adversely affected me forever, Is that my father, David Bigg Caused it.

He robbed me. It’s important to remember this. I would like this read out at my funeral.

I would like someone who cares To speak of my courage and my triumph over adversity. To speak of how they knew that I suffered. To speak of the horrors I experienced in my dad’s home while I was growing up. To remind everybody, absolutely everybody that he changed the locks when I turned 18, that I went to university with no family support and then I could also not obtain a grant because he got extra money by robbing me.

My sister once sent me a fiver. If you give her a chance, she’ll go on and on and on about how she used to send me money. I think it’s important that everyone knows that by ‘sending me money’ she means she once sent me £5. Remember she’s using the room My father is claiming I’m living in which means I have to pay rent somewhere else. And believe me £5 does not cover even a few hours of rent. Let alone three years. 

It is important that the truth be known. You will be told lies. There will be denials. But the truth is my sister is lying she sent me £5 which is the actual truth and my father lied, which robbed me of being able to eat and support myself which lead to a lot of very difficult situations. I succeeded despite that.
