Child Abuse Story From Christina O

by Christina O
(Fort Worth, Texas, USA)

Butterflies

AKA the bad preacher's kid: 
Life is very fuzzy from the beginning. I remember so much but I can't seem to put it in order. I was adopted at the age of 2 1/2 years. My birth mom, as I knew her growing up, described from my adopted parents, was a drug head. My dad an alcoholic and headed straight to hell. I remember someone trying to drown me in the bath tub for not giving them a blow job. I can't see the face. I can only feel the grip they have on my face to keep me under water...I have now met my birth family, and to this day nobody can answer my question of who this might have been. But the true abuse that I can bravely voice and not hide any more is what I experienced after I was adopted....

I remember my oldest brother shoving his c**k down my throat and getting a pubic hair stuck in my teeth, my youngest brother that is now a preacher!!! Hahaha I laugh and that fool and the s**t that he has caused, the one person he thinks he can hide all his s**t from, is the ONE that I hope sends his a** to hell...Jeremy would come into my room, close the door, act like he was gonna play Barbie with me and then tell me to pull all my clothes off, face the closet, and he would fondle me and I could hear him jerking off...funny that I didn't know what all that was then. I didn't even know that it was bad.

My dad was a preacher. My brothers were 16 and 13, and I was 4 so I never thought that anything they were doing would hurt me, until the day that I told my mom of my brother coming in to play Barbie. And then the events that followed: My dad tied me up to the bed with my jump rope and beat me. His exact words were: "You have ruined this family. You are nothing but a liar. I will beat you til you can't even sit in your chair and can't even walk!" And yes, that is what he did. I couldn't even sit on the toilet. When I tried to put toilet paper on my legs so I wouldn't get blood on my bed, I got beat again...sucks, I know, but the hardest part is over. I confronted my whole family, lost them all, and now look like a fool all over again. Better yet, I CAN NOW BE MYSELF!!!

Free to be your SELF...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

Christina, sometimes one must walk away from the family they are born to, and find in themselves the family they are lacking. Give yourself the positive messages you never heard from the people who were in charge of protecting you and keeping you safe from harm. You deserve to hear those positive messages: You ARE worthy. You ARE deserving of dignity and respect. You ARE lovable. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

Such Cruelty
by: Anonymous

Christina, what your so-called family did to you is very pathetic, disgusting, cruel and ungrateful. You deserved so much better and I really hope that your abusers get incarcerated for all those terrible crimes that they committed against you. Have you tried counselling? Be brave, Christina, and stay strong!

Always believe in yourself because your worth it.
by: maurice

Christina O I prayed and thought of you and all you were put through after reading your story. I had to sleEp on it before writing my comment to you. My heart went out to you as I read through your horrific experiences as a child with a family you were born into. I never asked to be born you could well say after all the horrific abuse meted out on you. Your beautiful innocence was distroyed by animalistic individuals that it would be better for them that they were not born after what the've done to you. Great your safe now away from there hold over you. I'm moved by Darlene's words to you Christina O, she is so womanly/motherly to all her many female visitors equally so to her many male visitors too. You certainly did not ask to be born into such a family. It is good Darlene has given heartfelt words about what one should do in your situation. I am certain you are intelligent enough to put a value on her words and to act on them. Now you are in a better place you can (must) build up your own self worth/self esteem. Hi you begin to love yourself and let genuine people especially your chosen few called FRIEND(S) they slowly become your loving and caring family in life. Let go of that horrible family you were born into. Look in the MIRROR, Who do you see? ME beautiful, As Darlene has encouraged you what to do, so do I,
give yourself the positive messages you never heard from the people who were in charge of protecting you. I am worthy, I am deserving of my dignity, I am lovable and cuddly, Era go on give yourself on big hug to begin the process of I LOVE ME BECAUSE I AM SPECIAL> All because you are worth it ms Christina O. Make a understanding sense of what you have done. Darlene's words sure will help you. Anonymous and Rose gave you hugging words to show their love and care for you. ever so natural from their big hearts for you. I pass on my love and hugs to you too. But you must say, I can, I will, I must think positive, act positive, be positive JUST FOR THE WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL ME> begin your healing process just being true to yourself CHRISTINA O

Inner Strength

Darling you are so strong, look at everything you've come through and still you had the courage to walk away. The most potent revenge you could ever have on your family would be to go on and live a long, happy and forfilled life.
I wish you all the best.
