Child Abuse Story From Brittney1

Throughout my entire childhood until the age of 15 I was either physically, emotionally, or sexually abused or neglected. Sometimes it was just one of these types of abuses or they wre multiple types.
My first memory of abuse was when i was aout 3 yrs old. A man was holding me (i am guessing he was a family friend since my mom would allow him in contact with him). Well what happened was he touched me inappropriately. Thats all of that memory. Also, i believ that i do have repressed memories of further sexual abuse because in kindergarten i was a very premiscous, flirty girl, and i also knew what sex was. During the ages of my earlist memories to about 7/8 i have awful memories of my father abusing my mother(physically).Occasionally he would also hit me but just on his moods. Also both my parents did have a drug abuse problem so i was neglected for some of more most basic emotinal needs and food/shelter wise. I hopped from apartment to apartment. Changing schools continuoselly. Never learning how to establish relationships with friends. My brother and sister now would always emotionally abuse me further by calling me names. My brother would leave me going to school with black eyes and other bruises. I was in and out of Child Haven. Both my parents were in and out of jail. Now at the age of 8 i DECIDED to not talk to my dad anymore. I lived with my mother and her boyfriend. This is when i get sexually abused fro 2 years. I would go to school in physical pain, i was overwhelmed with guilt and anxiety. I was even at the point of making plans about what would happen if i were to get pregnant. Ironically the monster harmed me so much that i will have difficult getting pregnat later in life annd will probably have a high risked pregnancy(i got this from the drs report). Then i finally told my mom a little b4 i was going to turn 10. I thought it was going to be all over finally but nope. Yes he did go to prison, a 20 yr sentence, made me so happy! But then a few weeks later she went to prison because my abuser accused her of knowing about it and even partcipating! which did not occur! Then i was in Child Haven and my dad got me and my 2 siblings. He was living with his girlfriend. Which to metion she was a drug abuser and a prostitute. My first birthday with my dad he forgot about it which just made me even more emotinally damged. He was very neglectful. I was in horrid living conditions. He abused drugs, drugs were laying all over the 'home'. He would have his drug friends as i called them to come over to the home. I soon got used to this. My brother continually physically abused me i always had redmarks all over me. He would shoot me with bebe guns, hit me with metal bars, throw cds at me, and lock me outside of my home. Then when i was around 13 my dad started kicking me out of the house. One night when i was walking(thats what i did whenever i was kicked out for the night) i was raped. Also his girlfriend tried to get me on drugs, luckily i never did! Then right before the age of 15 my dad completelt abandoned me in our apartment. he left and didnt return. The landlord came and was telling me i had only 24 hrs to get out. So i called my sister and moved in with her that lasted only a year. And now im 16 living with my aunt. Which now the abuse has stopepd and i can enjoy the last 2 years of my childhood. I am so thankful to them!
Even though i had to endure through all of this abuse i did come out of it with PTSD and some anxiety , But overall i am a success. This is because I am an A student in a magnet school called IB(international baccaleaurte) with perfect attendance. Also i have goals of becoming a trauma surgeon. Thanks for reading my story. My goal with telling it is that hopefully someone who has also endured abuse and hardship can also realize that their life is not ruined but instead will make them a stronger person! Because i sure know that i would not be the individual today without my experiences!
