Child Abuse Story From Alex1
by Alex
(Texas, USA)
I wish that it wouldn't happen. I wish that I didn't have to come home from school every day and have to go into my room a few hours later to either kick my trash can out of the way in my room to sit in the corner and cry for the longest time, or curl up into a ball on my bed and cry until my mother can actually try to break my door down to talk to me. Actually, I have many wishes, mainly most of them being to have a change in my life:
- I wish that my mother actually knew what psychological and emotional child abuse meant so she would know that she is doing it to both her children
- That my dad was here
- That my once-stepfather would stop seeing my mother
- That my brother would be safe from both of his parents
- That people would stop saying, "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
I have a lot of wishes that include my half-brother's parents, but those are my main ones. I've always wished that I could live with my Christian grandfather, get away from all of this mess, and stay a Christian and not cry every day. I mean, he lives in the same city. But then again, my mother said that I have to stop running away from my problems...but then again, she added "you selfish brat" to the end of that.
I'm too young to be worrying. I worry about my brother. I worry about school. I worry that my teacher may call CPS to tell them what I told him (I told him the whole story) and I worry about myself.
And guess what, I'm in middle school.
