'I would say growing up that people thought I was always in my head and difficult, and I probably was so difficult as a child, but I didn’t know what was wrong with me'
The millions of people all over the world who tune in to watch online sensation Jonathan Joly every day feel like they know him pretty well at this stage.
The couple are parents to four children, Emilia, Eduardo, Alessia and Andrea and live in London. Simply put, they document their day-to-day lives on social media - a move that has drawn widespread criticism from those who feel they share far too much for the world to see. But, in equal measure, they have garnered a legion of loyal followers over the years who love tuning in to see what the family of six get up to next.
In an alternate reality in his mind, a world which he calls Domdie, Jonathan’s friends - his closest one being named Giselle - brought comfort to him and distracted him from dark and intrusive thoughts. “People ask a lot of questions, they think I’m unstable and that I’m hearing voices. But all I know is that when I was lost as a child, I wanted to kill myself and I spiralled to the darkest depression and my mom still remembers the day I told her that when I was seven years old.
“The memories just came flooding back, and I decided if I was able to help my children with my story maybe I could do the same for other people.” He says there is a lot of pressure to put a label on his gender because, again, not everyone is understanding of his situation.“When I announced the book back in June, it was probably the most hated video on YouTube.
He said: “I felt so sad all of the time as a child because I couldn’t be me. And I knew if I was to ever be me, my parents would go mental, it would just keep getting worse and worse. “In this book I’m not telling you what you’re supposed to do because I’m not a doctor or professional, but I’m not afraid to tell you my story because I’ve no job to be fired from and I’ve got no friends to lose.Following Jonathan’s admission of feeling like neither a man nor woman, a lot of people wondered how his wife Anna reacted to the news.
