Child Abuse Story From Chelsi

by Chelsi
(Canada)




I have a pretty good Life accept from all the abuse. Im a pretty girl and im 13. I get abused by my mom SO much. I get punched, kicked, slapped, beat, One time my mom Even tryed running me over. When i was 7, I got caught stealing for my first time. Boy, was that a mistake.

When i came home with the police my momm waited till they left Then started to beat me so bad i passed out.

When i was 8, My mom verbally abused me calling me a fat wh**e. I wasn't fat. and i wasnt a wh**e. I have insecurity problems now. As we speak i suffer with Anorexia.

When i was 9 an 10. Me and my friends got caught Stealing Stuff from school. I didnt give a crap wiether if i got in trouble or not, cause i knew id get beat anyways. When i got home that night, She burned my hands on the stove and i screamed and then got a chair thrown at my face. My mom said if i ever told, she'd make sure i'd never breathe again.

When i was 12, I got into going to Raves, and Doing Weed with my friends. I was one of the youngest ravers out there. I used to go out for lunch and come back baked. I still do. I dont want to stop because It makes me forget about the pain for a while. I dont cut myself, I dont do anything like that. But one night when i came home my mom was waiting there with a Bbq lighter and some gasoline. She threw some on me and i ran down the street. She tryed lighting the lighter but i got out of the house before she could do Squat.

Im now 13, And afraid to even breathe. Do i tell anyone? The only one who knows are my two best friends. they know everything. I still currently Rave, and smoke. But im afriad to come home to something new she has in store. Im honestly at the point to fight back, but i know she'll hit twice as hard. And i fear for my life.

I need suggestions.

Your mother is an abuser. What you're dealing with isn't fair or right by any measurement. It's not the way childhood is supposed to be, but it's your reality. And I can understand you turning to drugs and other destructive behaviours; they help you to numb the pain and forget, even for just a while, what is happening in your environment. The problem is, you're also self-destructing, Chelsi. You're basically taking a page from your abusive mother and turning it on your Self. You don't see it that way, I know. I sure didn't when it was happening to me so many years ago. I recognized later on that I was so fortunate to have survived the things I was doing to my Self. If I hadn't, I wouldn't be talking to you today. You're worthy of treating your Self so much better than you do. You really are. Even though we have laws in our country against child abuse, proving it can be so challenging. The other problem is that your mother still holds all the power in your life because you're still a minor child. At 13 years old, you really don't have much in the way of rights, especially when it can be shown that you take drugs, go to raves, steal, etc. The system doesn't usually look into why you're doing these harmful things, only that you do. And then things can get very challenging for you, even more so than right now, like incarcerated detention. Chelsi, you don't deserve to be mistreated. You deserve to be treated with dignity, respect and love. And to treat others and their property with respect as well. No one has the right to steal from someone else. You can't change how others behave, you can only change how you behave and treat your Self. Start by treating your Self with the dignity, respect and love that you aren't getting from your mother. Stop stealing for one. You're better than that. I also urge you to contact Kids Helpline in Canada at 1-800-668-6868. They are staffed with professionally trained counsellors who will help you with your options. Visit their website by copying & pasting the following URL into your browser: http://www.kidshelpphone.ca/en/home.asp

Take care of your Self, Chelsi, in ways others have not. Don't let your Self down in the same ways that so many others have. And call the number above. You're too worthy not to. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me. I send you love and light, dear one.

The Horror
by: Anonymous

Chelsi, where was your dad? I can't believe that your dad would abandon you to the so-called care of that sick, sadistic monster of a mother and allow her to beat and berate you 24/7...how dare he! That's not even discipline; that's just torture. She's a really sadistic brute...and the path that she chose is inexcusable. Oh, and she's wrong. You're not a fat wh**e; you're not ugly; you are beautiful, so never believe any of those lies that she is spewing; all those nasty names that she called you are nothing but lies. Oh, and running you over with her car, beating you into unconsciousness and burning you are just enough for that vile poor excuse of a woman to be thrown into prison. Oh, and if she didn't want you to steal nor even do drugs anymore, then she should've had the courage to try and talk you out of it instead of beating, burning and sadistically abusing you. Please tell someone you really trust and keep telling until he/she will finally listen to you and help you. Oh, and please look into reporting that sadistic beast.

?? where is society??
by: My Two Cents

Let's see...your mom tried to run you over with a car, poured gas on you and tried to light you on fire, beats you black and blue, and has held your hands down on a hot stove?!

GET OUT NOW.

This violence is so severe already and it seems to be escalating rapidly plus you are using self destructive methods of coping with the violence, I think your mental and physical health is at serious risk.

TELL. TELL. TELL.

Doctors, teachers, counsellors, social workers - they're all required to report what is going on to child welfare.

I have a very difficult time believing that nobody knows this is happening. You're covered with bruises, black eyes, sprained arms, and burn injuries. Unless you are a professional stuntwoman or a no holds barred UFC cage fighter, I can't fathom how people who see you everyday would explain your injuries to themselves. They should be ashamed of themselves for not protecting you.

Be well.

My Two Cents.
