Child Abuse Story From Amy
by Amy
(England)
Wish i was never born!!
When i was about 1 and half years old my parents started physically abusing me. I was locked up, kicked, hit, punched and pushed around. I even ended up in hospital one time with a neck injury!!! It hurt to have it done to me but it was even worse having to watch it happen to my two sisters.
I remember when I was 6 having to watch my 2 year old sister getting beaten. She was covered in red marks and bruises. I felt so hopeless because I couldn't do anything to stop them.
That was when i started self harming. I didn't want to die but the self harm just calmed me down and helped me to feel in control. The self harm lasted for about two years but the physical abuse lasted for about 7. My parents stopped when we moved to another country but then they started emotionally and verbally abusing us. I remember trying to fake a smile but then they would say one more thing and I would break down. I would cry myself to sleep and my parents wouldn't realise.
At the moment I am still emotionally and verbally abused. There is also a small amount of physical abuse but not as much.
My dad moved to another country and since then my mum has been neglecting us. There is never much food in the fridge and she will go out and we will not see her until the next morning. I get stuck looking after my sisters and so I cannot see my friends.
