Born in New Mexico to an abusive and promiscuous mother, Robert grew up in a world no child should ever face. His mother’s violent tirades and the endless parade of men through their home shattered his sense of safety, stealing his childhood and plunging him into chaos. Yet, amid the darkness, he found brief refuge in the care of his grandmother and aunt.

In Asleep, Robert pulls back the curtain on his painful past, inviting you into the heartbreak, confusion, and haunting realities of his youth. He shares not only the horrors he endured, but also the desperate search for comfort in all the wrong places. His raw honesty, vivid storytelling, and unfiltered reflections will make you weep, cringe, and even—at unexpected moments—smile.

But Robert’s life is not only a story of suffering; it is a testament to resilience. It is about finding hope where there seems to be none, and discovering strength in the very scars that once felt like defeat. Above all, it is about redemption—one man’s remarkable journey from brokenness to healing, and his mission to transform pain into a force for good.
