Child Abuse Story From Abby

Effects of Emotional Child Abuse in Adolescents:
When I was reading the Signs of Emotional Abuse page I noticed that Approval Seeking was not on the boys list. In fact I have a 10 year old brother who constantly seeks approval from our father who has never approved him as well as me in some ways. we have both been Emotionaly Abused by our Father and Uncle for many years. Our father is the cause of my brother's heart disorder because of drug abuse and teases him about his weight with the same excuse "I was a fat kid" My brother was also Sexualy abused in the first grade by the other boys in his class. He has been bullied in second, third and fourth grade and is finally not bullied anymore to my knowlige. Our uncle flung a shoe at my brother and has petrified us both until I was nine or ten years old. I would run and hide under a table whenever possible when he yelled. My grandparents cover up for him as well as themselves whenever Social Services (called by my mother after the shoe incident)for any more recent incedents as well as past. My parents are going to be divorced my the Virginia Court System on December 10,2009. And afterwards we will be moving to Navada to live with her Boyfriend and his son. I can tell more if anyone wants me to. I would love to share Caleb and I's story as well as our mom's (who was In my eyes Emotionaly Abused by her mother her entire life and continues)We are finaly going to be free of any and all abuse by my 13th birthday. I will be thrilled if my story can help sve the life of a child as the abuse has taken a toll on my brother making him suisidal and we all have PTSD and Anxity. Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
