Child Abuse Story From Anonymous36

Why did I repeat the pattern???
My mom and dad were not monsters, but frustrated. I got to be the whipping post. I was a good kid, good student, a good wife, an abused wife, a horrible mother and eventually a cop.
I could not do a damn thing right when I was a kid. My dad stomped on my head and threw me out because I had sex when I was 15 years old. He called me a whore. My mom cut me with a 10" butcher knife on the arm when I was 11 years old. I don't remember why, I just remember cowering in the closet with my heart beating out of my chest.
I still love them both, and they love me. I'm mid century now. I guess no-one cared. I went on to be worse. I did things to my daughter when she was 4 and under that I don't want to even talk about because I'm so ashamed. Dear Jesus, forgive me. I'm not worthy. Abuse is not an excuse. I don't know why I was so cruel. I fear burning in hell every day. I am so sorry, Daughter. I was not as bad as most, but I was the worst. I hope you will forgive me.
