Child Abuse Story From Cheyenne in Phoenix

by Cheyenne
(Phoenix, Arizona, USA)




It was bad enough being married to a sick man who needs to put everyone down to hide from his own demons. Now he is doing it to my 12 year old son whose behavior and attitude have dramatically changed in 6 short months.

I divorced the narcissist and he is so cunning he fooled the court shrink that was evaluating him to believe I was the crazy one and got 50/50 custody.

My health took a turn for the worse 3 years ago and I lost my ability to work and have my son every other week. Being stuck in AZ alone and now very sick, I had to stay with this ex-monster so I could be with my son and not have visits in homeless shelters.

I am a big girl, I ignore his nasty comments about how ugly, fat, lazy, stupid I am but now that he's smoking pot often in secret, his mental illness is destroying my sons life.

I don't know how I can get help for my son and I when he knows how to fake his illness. He wont even allow me to take my son out to lunch (which would really be counseling appointment) because he will throw me on the street again if he gets mad.

He says my son doesn't need counseling, he says he's a lazy boy (never mind straight A's for 6 years) he says I'm the reason my son doesn't do things exactly like he does.
I need him hospitalized or committed so my son and I can get help. We need help!!!

You will do what is best for you and your Son:
by: maurice

Cheyenne: You be the winner over that poor (very) poor speciman of the Male Sex: He is just one bad vidictive and cruel man: Who gives any man/woman the right to degrade another: Ignorance has a lot to do with it but in a great number of situations where abuse is concerned there is more cuteness than ignorance as every abuser knows he/she is wrong and self satisfying their own perverted mind at the expence of the innocent and vunerable child-adolecent-young adult and where you are concerned domestic abuse: Get away from him for your own sanity and the good of your brilliant child/son: find some form of counselling and a safe place to love and cherish your child: You know he is a gifted child/son Let him stay in education so this giftedness will flourish for his benefit: What he knows and is experiencing that this so called father of his is an abuser of his beautiful and great mother: He too is being abused emotionally so please take him away: I know you will do what is the best for both of you with the help of your family and friends and people who care: Counselling will give you inner strength to be strong:

I'm in AZ as well...
by: AnonymousT

I was going to say get a Childs Advocate as well & I'm so happy Darlene had the info for that!!!

If the judge sees YOU doing what you can by getting a 3rd person involved it will look better.

I don't have any "legal" advice I just want to let you know that there ARE avenues in which to get help. Calling that number & getting CA first will set you on the right path.

Good luck.
