Deliver Me From Evil: A Sadistic Foster Mother, A Childhood Torn Apart

Product Information

The abuse came to light in December 2004 when Victoria reported it to a friend at church, who helped her escape and tell the police. Written with powerful honesty, her autobiography "Deliver Me From Evil" is a moving and inspiring story of survival. Without the memory of being loved once, I might not have survived my horrific years with Eunice Spry. Spry’s other children—two older biological daughters; two adopted daughters, Charlotte and Sarah; and others—were not abused.

From the time she was a mere child to the time she reaches her teens, her life is a nightmare, the kind you never wake up from, the kind where no one hugs you to make the monsters go away.But Spry forced her to remain wheelchair-bound for four years, warning her not to co-operate with physiotherapists that tried to encourage her in a cynical bid to maximise the disability living payments she received. How Claudia Winkleman cultivated the most famous fringe in showbusiness: From her wavy parting as a student. I guess I should have known from the title that this book wouldn't give me what I wanted, but I hoped for enlightenment and certainly did not find it.

Unknown to us, Eunice had befriended an elderly man named John Drake, who owned a huge farm near the affluent, pretty market town of Pershore, north of Tewkesbury. Every day they would go to a local drug rehabilitation centre, often taking me and, later, Thomas with them. Made me cry and I can’t stop thinking about what she went through and how horrible it must have been and what an amazing strong brave women she has turned into.

I know there may have been many other parts to it, but I would say what happened to her with Eunice definitely was a large part of it.

Christopher said: “She thought I was demonised or I was working in Satan’s name and that we were the devil’s offspring. I was upset about this, as I loved my name, Alloma - it had been chosen by Mum after she'd read it in a book about fairies and mystical people. Legally, this is part of the reason why the government was not monitoring the situation as closely as they should have been (not to let them off the hook- their failure, after multiple reports of suspected abuse, to investigate is simply criminal).I was 11 by now and had been enduring Eunice's terrible physical and psychological cruelty for nearly five years. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Eunice had spotted an opportunity to inherit the farm and make herself a lot of money. I was shaking and crying, but Eunice was bent double again, raising the stick and now she was going at my toes with great, unrelenting clunks. The beatings became more regular and Spry separated the children away from anyone who could alert the authorities.
