Child Abuse Story From Adrianna

by Adrianna
(Canada)

My parents divorced when I was 4 and up until that point my father was my primary caregiver. Once they divorced I was left with my abusive mother who told me my father was dead. I had a psychotic episode, and because of my mother's drinking everyone blamed my illness on her drinking.

Throughout the years weird things happened. Like my dad would call or something. When I was in Gr. 7 he showed up for a visit and was hoping to stay with my mother.

When I was 18 he died again. I fell into a deep depression.

Even though I left home at 14 I managed to finish high school and work two part-time jobs.

When I was 23 I had a baby girl! Then when I was 24 my sister received a post card from my dad who was coming to visit her.

When we told my mother she was crying and freaking out.

Then we met my dad and I found out that my mother had told him that she had given birth to baby boy that died (my father always wanted a son). And to cover her lie, she had to tell us he was dead.

Then when I was 27 my father died for real in a terrible accident.

To this day I still feel like he is alive.

I hate my mother.
