Answer:
He is trying to send a message that child abuse to any extent is wrong.
Explanation:
Since this is based on the life of the author, he is trying to send a message across that child abuse to any extent is wrong. Because he went through this as a child he wants to share his story and in a way speak out for those who are going through similar real life situations like he did. He wants to tell his readers that there is much more to people. What hides behind a smile or even a personality can be much more different. For example his mother. Around others she was kind and no one wouldve expected her to be the way she was, but at home with David was a different story, and being treated the way he was is something to never be wished upon another person.
