Child Abuse Story From Alicia

by Alicia
(USA)




When I was a baby my dad used to beat my mom (He was an alcoholic). When I was 4 yrs old, he strangled her til she passed-out and tried to beat my older sister (She isn't his biological daughter) but she ran outside and hid, he then put me and my little brother into our van and threatened to drive into a lake. He instead took us to his workplace (it was after dark) and I fell asleep there until I was awoken by the cops. We were in Alaska when that happened and after my dad was put in jail and my mom left him, we went to Memphis. In memphis, I found out that I had an older brother whom was being raised by my sterile aunt and her husband. During this time my mom had to work alot to take care of 3 kids and I was left in the care of my Grandma. My older sister made me and my older brother perform sexual acts on one another. I told her that it hurt but she just said that I'd get used to it and eventually enjoy it. Soon however, we left Memphis for legal reasons and setteled in Texas when I was 6 yrs old. There I met my cousins who were aged from 11 to 14 (My sister is 6 yrs older than me so she was 12). My sister and cousins all decided to play truth-or-dare, they would always pick dare and they'd dare each other to do sexual things and soon they began to involve me, I used to try to pitch truth instead of dare but they'd get mad and they made a rule where you can only pick truth once, I had to do sexual things with them and watch porn with them or they'd say that I wasn't mature enough to hang-out with them and I wanted to hang-out with the older kids. This lasted until I was about 7 or 8 but it still haunted me though. I started masturbating when I was 10 and statrted suffering from depression and low-self esteem. When I was 13 I attempted suicide and was put in a psych ward. I confessed all of the things that happened to me while I was in the hospital and they told my mom. My mom told my aunt and my aunt said that I was liar and that I just wanted attention, my cousins later said that it was true and my sister said she couldn't remember. Even though I was hurt, no one did anything about it, my mom said that they were just experimenting and my aunt said that I wanted it to happen and I can't blame everything on her kids. I am now 16 and just a few weks ago I came to the relization that my mom and aunt knew what was going on while it was happening. They just got mad at the fact that I told somebody outside of the family, they wanted it to be kept a secret and I hate them for it. They did nothing to stop what was happening and they knew the whole time. I can't leave now but I plan on moving out next year and never coming back, I tel them this and they act like they don't understand why I don't like them, they get mad when I bring up the past. I hate them.
