Child Abuse Story From Amber2
by Amber
I was adopted as a 6 yr. old kid you would think that the reason you were adopted was (in some cases) because you were in a bad situation I have 9 adopted brothers and sisters two of which were my half siblings. My parents for some reason couldn't handle special needs children, but decided to adopt us anyways. I have a brother who is slightly retarded who would have been a little more self-sufficient if it weren't for the abuse he suffered from my parents. It seemed that his punishments were more severe than ours. My mom would verbally abuse us really bad telling me on occasion that I was low I.Q.'ed when actually I am very smart and so are my half siblings. Which in turn has led my sister down a destructive path of always trying too hard and my mom still not being pleased. She then started mentally abusing people to bring herself up because my mom never did. I feel bad because I am now a grown up and away from my parents yet I know my brothers and sisters are still home and putting up with it still. I came home one time to find my sister had just gotten out of the shower so I followed her to her room as we were talking she dropped her towel to put on some clothes and I noticed there were bruises all over her bottom, real bad ones. My other sister feels like she always has to sneak to do things, whether its talking on the phone or going outside. My mom calls her a whore all the time,the clothes my sister wears are grannyish compared to the styles for young women out there. That was also another thing that my mom did was only to buy us clothes from garage sales even though they were upper middle class. Hardly ever had new clothes and because I was heavy growing up the only clothes she could find in my size were old women clothes and that's what I dressed in. They would tell everybody at church what bad kids we were. They got the people from church to side with them by telling them we all had mental problems anything to make them believe them. They did do some nice stuff for us growing up but it wasn't much and I know others have it worse, but I still think that maybe ours could have been better if my parents were to drop the whole judgemental and I'm better than everybody attitudes. My younger brothers and sisters could grow up to be successful without having to get over it first to become successful I know there is more to all this than what I'm telling and my case was more neglect and being verbally assaulted it was still abuse and I can only pray that my family will be okay.
