Not Broken, Just Gone
By Jim Handler
He was smart. He was loved. He had a home.
And still, he slipped through the cracks.
Told in raw, unfiltered first-person, Not Broken, Just Gone is the harrowing true-to-life story of a boy whose life spirals from childhood innocence into addiction, institutional abuse, and quiet self-destruction. Diagnosed with ADHD and medicated young, what began as a prescription for focus turned into a gateway to dependence, rebellion, and emotional collapse.
Military school didn't fix him. Therapy didn't reach him. The world looked away until it was too late.
Through brutal honesty and heartbreaking clarity, Jim Handler captures the journey of a generation failed by systems meant to protect them-and the slow, aching descent of a life that never got the chance to fully begin.
He wasn't broken.
He was just gone.
