Child Abuse Story from Annie6

by Annie
(California, USA)

The final stages:
Why did I have those horrible nightmares from the early age of 5?
Why did I always feel so vulnerable and exposed?
In a family of 5 kids; 3 boys, and 2 girls, why did I feel like I was the adopted child, and so different from the others?
Why are they tormenting me?
Am I normal?
Can I fast-forward and be gone from here?
Am I as smart as they are?
Why am I so afraid all the time?
Am I going to die?
Why does mom have to work at night?
I want my mom and dad to love me more, so therefore I will do this and that.
I want to be different than them!
Why do they call me PIG all the time?
Is someone going to hit me today or throw me to the ground?
I just don't feel like I belong here.
Dad's always practicing his instruments. God I can't stand it! His incessant scales.
I have panic in me all the time, just waiting to erupt.
My chest hurts and I can't breathe.
Why do people like me so much at school, and no one likes me at home?
Why is my mom so restrictive and controlling?
Does anybody want to hear me?
I don't like to be alone. I am afraid to be ALONE.
Age 5-15

Annie be strong
by: Nicola

My Dear Annie
Speak Out! No one has the right to make you feel so unworthy. No one has the right to harm you and make you feel sad. You are a strong young girl. Just reading your story made me sad. Your story mirrored my own. I had a very abusive mother and brother. I was beat, shouted at and made to feel worthless on a regular basis. I told a teacher at school who contacted a social worker. I didn't have to go back to my house again. I'm now living with a wonderful foster family who treat me well. My mum is in rehab and my brother has been sent to a young offenders school. I don't know what the future holds for me but it's got to be better than being with my mum. good luck Annie and remember that you're not alone. x
