Child abuse Story From Alexis W
by Alexis W
I was emotionally abused for two 1/2 years. i was 9-10 for most of it and i'm 11 now. she was my step- mom, and i knew it was never going to work out with them. I never knew it was child abuse until now when i read what child abuse was. She yelled cuss words at me and called me those words. she stole from me then said she was punishing me for doing something wrong. She hurt my father too. she hit him then called the cops and said he hit her. she threw his laptop at the wall. She grabbed my arm multiple times then thew me into my room and told my friends i couldn't see them because she just decided i was grounded. She had double standards for me and her own daughter. She also drank lots of wine, but she wasn't drunk for many of these happenings. It got so bad that i started packing a runaway bag that had food, soap, a water bottle, and books so i could run away when i wanted to. That woman is the reason for my very low self esteem and very low grades. Everyone thinks that i blame myself, but i don't. My mother is everything in all this. She helped me so much. I told her everything that my step-mom did and she is on my side 110 percent. It's getting better i think now that i've told someone.
