Child Abuse Story From Christina O

by Christina O
(Fort Worth, Texas, USA)




Butterflies

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

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.

I hear yu...
by: Krista

I am a victim of physical abuse, as well. It's hard, even for me, to hear the story of another person's abuse received from their family. So, I guess I understand what my friends and my boyfriend go through when I first told them about my abuse.

I'm not going to say sorry or that I pity you because that's not what I want people to say when I tell them my story. But, I hope that everything in your life is happy and warm. But, even more so, I hope that you have even more positive thoughts! I know that it's the memories that haunt us victims. So, just try to focus on what you have in life right now and go towards the future with your head held high.

I can't sleep tonight because of rampant, evil thoughts of my abusive past is keeping me up. So, you have encouraged me to leave my story on this site.

Take care :)

Two comments later in time I still hear you. U Yu
by: maurice

The most recent comment which the telling of your story has evoked sincerity from another's HEART: Krista has read your horrific physical/sexual abuse story at the hands of supposeingly God Preacher's who have got it all wrong: My admiration for you Christina O for being brave, courageous to tell the truth is real and sincere: Good on you for Believeing in your true self with conviction and leaving hypocrite's of a family of demons: Preaching God and living the opposite to God's unconditional Love for each one of us: A father who should have showered you with LOVE and cherished you as a Child of His and GOD: Only showered beatings on you, not wanting to face up about the truth in his life and what your brothers did to you: It took great courage to do what you have done: The truth will set you free: I hope you are loved and valued by real people around you: Your friends: in your work place: in your new found community of honesty and respect for you as one very genuine, sincere, wonderful, beautiful, unique child of God and child of the Universe: I sincerely hope you have been able to share your story with a counsellor or therapist: I can empatise with you like Krista that the effects physical beatings/spankings linger on in a very negative way if we don't get help to rid ourselves of them: That is why counsellors are so important they surely put abuse and it's effects in perspective for us so we can get on and live our lives to the full after abuse: Thank you again, you have already read two comments from me and my heart feelings for you, Krista in her comment invited me to let you know and her I care about all of us who were abused: Darlene has given us a platform to express that: We need to read and hear we are loved and cherished by honest caring human beings: All God's Children: God made us family through Darlene's site: She is His Angel on earth for us:
