Child Abuse Story From Celeste

by Celeste
(Louisiana, USA)




I've had alot of evil things happen to me as a child,mostly getting my mouth washed out with soap for talking,being kept from school to be assaulted by my mother,and also alot of hitting with stickes belts,literally walking on egg shells not to be cursed out and defiled with words.I was a "slut" and a "bitch" before I even reached puberty.I remember being very young and peeing on myself in the car because I was so scared that when I got home that i would "Get it".I'm surprised that I came this far on what I went through.I'm almost 26 now and I'm glad that I survived.Along with the abuse,I was deemed an unmanagible teen and placed in group homes,mental institutions and above all,I felt anger.Loaded with drugs all on account of my mother,and also anger toward my father for leaving me there with her,being an alchoholic and promising to come pick me up when he never would.There are alot of things that I can tell you about,but I'll leave it at this.

I understand your anger. When a parent has all the power and children are not listened to, what results is further abuse, both by that parent and the system. I strongly recommend some form of counselling in order to help you with that anger so that you can live your life free from what can tear you apart. It certainly made a difference in my life. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

Even animals would never treat their young so sadistically
by: Anonymous

Celeste, your so-called mother is wrong. You are not a "slut" nor a "bitch"; in fact, you are smart, lovable and worthy of love and respect. Your beast of a mother is truly sadistic and should've been locked up because what she did to you was and still is pathetic, sadistic and ungrateful. Plus, you did nothing wrong because you were the child; she was the adult; she had all the power and only misused it. Why some people want to abuse their children, I will never understand. I hope that you will try counselling. Be brave, Celeste, and stay strong.

Anger is just a temporary fix.
by: Helen Louis

Celeste, I too came out of childhood angry. The anger was a blessing because it helped me to look for a better way than what my parents offered. I too, used drugs for relief from the pain. Like anger, they can ease the pain but do not cure it. Please, look for counceling help; get in touch with Alanon; there are groups everywhere and you will be in touch with people who know exactly what you have been through because they have been there, too. There is love for you in this world. You do not have to settle for what your mom and dad gave you. Believe it.

There is one very special beautiful woman behind all that anger
by: maurice

Celeste, Always believe in yourself, I am the most important child ever birthed. Believe that Celeste. Sadly your story tell me it may have been better if that sadistic ABCD of a mother never birthed you. It was not my doing, but it happened, I can only begin to live my life to the full now knowing all the stuff that she did to me was out and out abuse of her beautiful child. Celeste find ways to release that Anger built up in you, now that you know by sad sick people especially your mother: you are realeased from their grip now. At 26 you can make a new beginning and live your life to the full. You begin your road of recoever by heeding Darlene's words to you. They are comforting, they are loving, they are encourageing, all from her huge heart of the love of a woman. Let your hearts unite in that love and begin living your life to the full. Find a Therpist, confide all you have on Darlene site to her. in total confidence she will put you on the right road to recovery. Hi, Darlene know there is a full life to be lived after abuse. Celeste. look in the mirror, see a positive thinking me looking out at you. I am a believer in one having a good mirror image of one self. So begin today Thinking positive, acting positive and being positive in all you do and say about yourself. I CAN: I WILL: I MUST: JUST BECAUSE I AM WORTH IT. GIVE YOURSELF ONE HUGE HUG AND FEEL GOOD.
