Child Abuse Story From Caitie
by Caitlin
(Syracuse, New York, USA)
I'm a 14 year old girl. I think I'm being abused by my mother. I'm now a freshman in high school, and sometimes that's the only place I feel safe. I hate when report cards get sent home, because my grades aren't good. They are low, but I try very hard to get good grades.
I think my mom needs help. I think she's bi-polar. I told her that I think I might have ADD, (Attention Deficit Disorder) but she doesn't want to take me to get checked out. She says, "No, you're just lazy. There's nothing wrong with you." And my father doesn't do anything for me or my sister. I'm too scared to tell people what's gong on because I know that I'm gonna pay for it.
When my mother gets mad, she yells at me and hits me with anything. She's even used hangers because I wasn't done hanging my clothes up. She threw me on my bed and just started hitting me over and over again. She even tells me and my sister that she wishes she never had us. She uses vulgar language, calling us names like "bitch" and "whore" etc.
She gets mad when we start to like a boy or a boy starts to like us because she can't find a man for herself. Sometimes I just cry myself to sleep. She thinks that when she's yelling at me that I think it's all just a joke. She thinks that I'm not listening and that what she says doesn't hurt us. She's even thrown us against the wall. She always gives us dirty looks, and I'm honestly scared for my life and my sister's life and I don't know what to do!!!
