Child Abuse Story From Aaron1

by Aaron
(Indianapolis, Indiana, USA)




I am a 38 year old male.My story starts at age 5yrs old,i do not have any memory of my childhood before age 5.My mom and dad have been together over 45yrs,and my dad worked for the same company 32yrs,he retired feb 2009,a normall happy family it seemed like.My mom is the most jeoules women on earth,she controlled my dad,and me and my sister.From age 5yrs she kept me deadbotted in my room and had my windows nailed shut,so i could not get out,the only time i got out of my room was to use the bathroom,and go to school.I was not allowed no school books are anything else in my room,except for my clothes and bed was all i had in my room.I was not allowed no friends,could not go outside and play,it was a prison.I would pee in my pants,she would give me enniemas daily to teach me not to do that,i would have to bang on my door to go to the bathroom and she would not here me,are be gone,are just not care,thats why i would pee in my pants.Her and my dad would beat me for anything you could think of,my dad was always gone at work,he would beat me because she told him to,he just did as he was told.My stupid school was to blind to see what was going on,my mom never went to the school for anythink,she would not sizn my report cards and they had no contact number for her,and she would not give me the home phone number.So the school would blame me for not having my report card sizned.I was stealing at school and fighting all the time,so the school would give me the board on my rear at least twice a week.So between home and school i was getting it good.That part of my life went on until the 4th grade,i went to gym class and was changing and the teacher seen me naked and saw all the bruises on my body.I was taken out of my home that day,i lived with foster family of a kid that went to my school,they where very nice people,it was great,but then they said it was time to try going back home after 5mos away,i knew things would not be better,Well my first couple of days home,where ok,i could not stand my mom being nice to me eather,it made me sick,i knew she was not real,i am about 10yrs old now,when i was returned home.So after a few dats of her fake kindness,things went back to normall,she was hiting me again,calling me names and making me feel like i was nothing,and she made me believe i was retarted.Well i tried to run away,and she took all my clothes away,i was nude and i stayed in the closet in the dining room,she would not let me have my bedroom,she had turned it into her tv room when i was taken out of the home,so to keep me runing away they kept my clothes all locked up in her bedroom,and school was out for the summer,so it was easy for them to get away with this,so when my caseworker would come and check on me,i was to scared to say anything was going on,so finaly i took the curtains down from the dining room window,when the crazy lady left to go some where,i covered up my body,went outside,knocked out her bedroom window and got my clothes and shoes and i got out of there.So for the 2nd time i was taken out of the prison,went back with my foster parents,for about 3mos,they could not deal with me i am about 12yrs old now,they said that i was to much for them,so then i was put in a group home stayed there for 3yrs,then i went with the group home parents to missouri for about 3mos,we come back they could not find work,so i found a job when we come back from missouri,i run into my mom at the mall i am now almost 17yrs old,i returned home for 3mos,worked dropped out of school,and my mom made me give her rent money,they did not need it my dad made very good living at gm.I was working two jobs and giving 90% of my pay to her,so at this point i am not letting her hurt me in any way phsical,but she was taken my stuff out of my room and killing my fish,i was getting ready to kill her,when a friend i had met talked me out of it,i am so happy he did that,i moved in with my friends family,the kid that saved me from killing my mom,his family treated me good.I am almost 18yrs old two weeks away from my birthday,when i met my friends aunt,she is older then me,we fell in love and are married now,we have been together 18yrs now,lots of ups and downs i believe from my childhood,she is very understanding and loves me for who i am,i have had lots of trouble keeping jobs,i have had over 200 jobs,i am a great worker,i have been hired back three times at two of the jobs i had,because of my hard working believes,but i have a bad temper,and i will not let anyone are anybody treat me bad are talk down to me,are control me,so this is a problem in the job world and a problem in my marriage,because my wife has to take care of making the money.I have 2 stepdaughters,and 5 grandkids,we are all close,and the grandkids love me very much,i would not hurt a kid for all the money in the world,i am like a kid my self,i play with my grandkids,i am like one of them when we are playing thats why they are close to me,because i will play all the games and sports and things.So what i am saying is i have been able to do good with kids and older people,i do a lot for older couples i have met,i help them with there homes and anythink else they need help with,but from the abuse i have had,i have no friends my age,and i am not able to hold a job,i was not able to finish school,and i have depreesion all the time.I would like to here from other people how abuse has effeted there lives.I could go on and on about the abuse my mother did to me,but it does not matter anymore the damage has been done,and i am trying to deal with it.And also if any one knows where i could get free counceling in indianapolis that would be great.Thanks for reading my story,keep me in ypur prayers,and i will be praying for all of you.

So many crimes committed, so little help
by: Anonymous

Aaron, I'm so sorry that you didn't have a good family and that you were born into such a house where your so-called parents sadistically treated you and your sister. I can relate; I, too, literally grew up in a world where everyone is always arrogant, blind, deaf, selfish, mean, unsympathetic, cruel and evil. I am delighted that you are in a safe place now; I hope that your sister is in a safe place now, that you will try counselling and that those sadistic brutes for parents will someday get incarcerated for all those terrible crimes that they committed against you guys. I wish you all the best.

Thank You
by: Aaron

Hello Thank you for your reply.My sister is married now and has a little boy,and is a good mother.We both our very good with kids,we would never put any kid through what we had to live through.The only think that has come from being abused,is being able to help and talk to other kids and family that need help through abuse and other things.Thanks again.

I hope you find the help you need
by: Mark

Aaron,
I'm so VERY sorry that all of this has happened to you, buddy. Abuse is horrible enough, but depression and alienation make it much worse. Believe me, I KNOW where you're coming from.
Like you, I have no friends my age. It's hard not to be able to talk about your feelings and your past with someone close to your age. But I want you to know that you've got US, here on this website, and your wife, who no doubt loves you very much.
I don't know anything about free counseling, but maybe a hotline would help you? Maybe they could refer you to someone? I'm in therapy - I'll ask my therapist if there are national organizations that offer free counseling. If I learn anything useful, I'll write back soon. I don't live where you live, and we are not allowed to direct you to specific therapists or centers, but I'll see if I can learn how to locate free counseling centers in a general way so that YOU can find them, OK, buddy?
I think it's terrific that you get along so well with kids and older people. That - NOT your abuse - tells me what kind of a man you are: good, caring, and loving. Believe me, in this world, we NEED more people like you. You didn't let your abuse kill your love of people, and that shows you to be a strong and resilient person.
Your buddy,
Mark

Free counseling DOES exist!
by: Mark

Aaron,
In your story, you asked if anyone knew how to find free counseling. I think I've made some progress for you, buddy. On your search engine - like Google, for instance - type in words like "free counseling center." Use quotes just like I did here in order to narrow your search. Also type the city in which you live, and hit the Enter key. A list of counseling centers will appear.
Go through them until you find one that you think can help you. If you can't find one, look for buttons that say something like "for more results, click here." Counseling centers that deal with abuse are likely to put "abuse" in their description.
I can't refer you to a specific counseling center, but don't give up; they are out there. I FOUND a free counseling center, IN YOUR CITY, using the above method. They offer free abuse counseling, to children and adults. No money nor insurance required. Both group therapy and individual counseling are available.
If anyone else reads this and is having difficulty finding free counseling, try asking a police officer, a religious official, your doctor, or a hospital if they have any information. Remember there are hotline numbers, websites, and even libraries may have "self-help" books you can read.
I understand this is still very general information, but stick with it; your healing is important and worth the effort - not just for you, but for those who love you as well.
Good luck, buddy!
Mark
