Description
Barney says that in the middle of the night 25 years ago, he ran away from what he says was the religious cult he was raised in.
“I ran for a number of [kilometres] … and turned around and thought: ‘Oh … now I’ve got to rebuild my life’.”
Though he’s now in his 50s, he says he feels closer to 35 due to what he describes as “lost years.”
