A soldier who returned home with nowhere to go has spoken out about his struggle to survive – and how he has turned his life around in the last year.
Ex-infantryman Liam Cary, whose mother died from non-Hodgkin lymphoma when he was 16 years old, returned home to Moston from his military service in Harrogate and Catterick to find that his father had 'lost the family home'. He spent years sofa surfing and sometimes even slept on public benches.
Desperate, he started dealing drugs after he 'got in with the wrong crowd'. But his life changed when £4,000 worth of substances was stolen from him – by a member of his own family.
