Nigel developed a violent personality and began to suffer with severe mental health issues including self harm and breakdowns. Seeing no way out of this bleak existence he attempted to take his own life. Whilst in prison and in the blackest pit of hopelessness and despair he began to hear about a God who loved him so much he sent his only son to die for him. Nigel had always believed there to be no forgiveness for someone like him that had committed such heinous acts.
