Child Abuse Story From A1

by A
(Location Undisclosed)




I was physically abused by my mother for four years. She beat me almost daily, for the smallest of things like leaving a bowl in the sink. I was almost molested by multiple people, starting with my older cousin, then my mother's boyfriends who would sometimes rub against me and/or grab me, then the neighbor who put his hand up my shorts while he was babysitting me, and finally my uncle who put his hand up my sweater and down my pants. The only ones I ever told anyone about were one of the boyfriends (my mother beat me for it and accused me of trying to make her jealous) and my uncle, who was charged for it.

Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me. I do hope you are now in a safe place. You did not deserve to be abused in any way. Your mother has serious problems. The fact that she would beat you for being victimized, and then have the audacity to accuse you of trying to make her jealous...she is very twisted.

Not Your Fault
by: Anonymous

A, what your abusers did to you was truly pathetic and ungrateful. Your "mother", along with your molesters, is truly twisted, sick, cruel and sadistic in her own ways of thinking. She didn't deserve to have a beautiful child like you, but most of all, you certainly didn't deserve to have an uncaring, sick, twisted, sadistic, animalistic, barbaric, ruthless mother. She is also a coward because only a coward would beat on such a little girl for trying to get help and for small things, especially leaving a bowl in the sink. She really needs to be put to prison with her slimy boyfriends and their fellow molesters for all those terrible crimes that they committed against you because you did nothing wrong; in fact, you were the child, those cowards were the adults. They had all the power and they only misused it. I really hope that you were in a safe place now, and if not, please tell someone you really trust because the sooner you tell, the better.
