Child Abuse Story From Brittany1

by Brittany
(USA)

I am 15 years old.
And I have dealt with my dad for as long as I can remember.
I don't know if you can count what he has done as abuse.
But it emotionally drains me,
and messes with my relationships with other people.
At school I can't pay attention.
My friends complain because I wonder when they are talking to me.
My worse memory
I remember...
When I was 5 or 6,
I was running,
I can't remember why.
All I remember is running to my room.
I remember hearing my dad coming,
stomping,
behind me.
I ran to my room, scared.
My sister was in there playing and decided she was scared and hid with me.
I was racing to find somewhere,
anywhere,
to hide from him.
But before I could do anything he was in my room.
He stopped at the door.
I followed his eyes.
He searched for me.
I was hiding behind my bed next to the window.
My dad came over to me,
bent down to my level,
and was screaming,
baring his teeth,
I was watching his teeth crush together,
the spit flying out of his mouth toward me.
I can't remember what he was saying,
I don't think I heard it when he was saying it.
He then decided screaming wasn't enough.
He bounced my head off of his.
My head hit the window.
The glass didn't break,
but it was enough to make me fall to the ground.
I don't remember anything else.
I guess I was too young.
But my dad is 6'4.
At the time he weighed over 200 lbs.
He worked out everyday.
That is my worse memory....
That isn't the only thing he has done.
But that's the one I will remember forever.
