Child Abuse Story From Brandon

by Brandon
(Location Undisclosed)

Throughout all my years of being so young, I have been abused badly. I've been forbidden to eat and lied to about my real identity. My parents don't believe in me & I am "nothing" in their eyes. I can honestly say that me as a person I hate who I have become. I only want someone to hold and love me. But, then again, no one knows the real me. I lie to my friends & teachers. I am only 13 and I do the best I can to get around without getting hurt by one another. I hate having to turn to people to see if someone will actually take me in. I have lied about the bruises on my legs and arms for 3 years. I have a drunk for both parents and older brothers who seem to hate me as well. I am too young to be doing the things I did for 5 months straight. I've thought about suicide multiple times & I try anything I can to stay hundreds maybe even millions of feet away from my parents. I sit alone like I'm some kind of man-eating animal. No one actually likes me. I have been used & badly abused. I struggle every day. And worry about my next meal. Because, my aunt as well hates me. I was born in this world as it all falls apart. And I too have a heart, but the raging pain that it is being put on is killing me. I've been told so many lies. And if only someone actually knew what I go through every day of my worthless life, people would see that I am as normal as anyone else. I just don't have anything to depend on for the next 5 years. The bruises fade away but, the pain lasts forever.

A number to call...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

Brandon, if this is you that you are referring to in this story, and not someone else or someone else's story from another source, then you need to find help. The only reason I'm questioning whether or not this is about you is because of the title you included (which I changed), what you placed in the "By" field, and the fact that you placed your name in the "From" field instead of a location (which as you can see, I also changed). If this story is about you, please contact Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) in order to talk to someone about the abuse you are dealing with. They are staffed 24/7 with professionally trained counsellors who will listen to you. They are not a reporting agency, although they can help you through the process of reporting if you decide to disclose the abuse. If these things are happening to you, Brandon, reach out to people who can help you. You deserve that kind of help. You are NOT worthless. You are deserving of love and nurturing and dignity and respect. You ARE lovable, in spite of the way you're being treated. You must believe that. You do not have to go through this alone. There really are people out there who want to help. Please call Child Help. Today.

Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

Don't give up!
by: K.C.

Hi Brandon,

I am so sorry about your family. If I were you I would get out of that house ASAP! I think the best thing to do would be to get help from someone you think you might be able to trust. I am not you and I can't tell you what to do. Just please don't give up. I hope your life will get better.

We care!
by: Judy

Brandon - You must believe that there the world is full of caring and loving people. You just have to trust and reach out to them - never give up - someone will listen - someone will help you. You have made it this far and you can go so much further if only you believe in yourself and the good in other people. Your parents and your brothers have no right to treat you that way - they are wrong, horribly wrong! You are in my prayers and I will continue to pray that you get the help you need. It must first come from you - have faith, always have faith. Much love, Judy.

You're NOT worthless
by: Tasha

Please, please don't put yourself down. I understand what you have and are going through, but you can't give up hope. You can't think of such terrible outcomes as sucide.

And I know it sounds corny, but a friend once told me, "Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end."

And I know it's hard. But try to open up to someone. I did, and I think it was one of the best desions I've ever made.

by: shit head

never give up

I agree.
by: K.C.

Tasha is right, Brandon. Opening up to someone, and better yet someone you love and trust, is the best thing you could ever do for yourself.

Always believe in yourself. Ain't easy to do but make it your hope for your future
by: maurice

Brandon, Be brave, be strong, be persevering in getting to know the real and beautiful human being child of the universe. Yes, it ain't easy and will not be eas only if and when you begin to Always believe in yourself. Great you are a visitor to Darlene's site. She certainly idetifies with each of her visitors the hurt, pain, confusion of abuse in each ones heart. Having walked the walk herself I acknowledge her empathy with each one of us. Brandon, you need to love yourself, easy for me to say, but truly Brandon that is where I had to begin to see my own Beauty and being. Our Self worth, our self esteem, our self valueing of ourselves is very slow in growing because we were treated a mr/miss nobody in our childhood/teenage years/ adolecent years real and natural times in our lives that we are taught how wonderful and beautiful we truly are. Alas for most who were abused Good wholesome building of one's self esteem was Nil and Negative. Sadly Brandon I, You have to say I am special, I am unique, I am beautiful, I am caring, I am loving, I have real needs and real feelings that I must accept and believe I have. Ignore the not so nice people in my life who keep putting me down. Brandon, you have a friend or two who you depend on to make a sense of all that you are and have gone through. They will help you to believe in yourself. Just give what Darlene and all of us visitors with our comments to you a thought and see how you can begin to put real hope for your future into life. your one beautiful person (male) in your own right and no one can take that away from you. Begin to smile at that beautiful person in the mirror and say I can accomplish anything I want even become president of my country. Era go on do doubt that fact Brandon. Think positive, act positive, be positive and live each day of your life to the full. I can do it, I will do it, I must do it just for me. I love me and I am loved by a handful of people around me and by all who have said so on Darlene site.
