Child Abuse Story From Disabled Survivor

by Kris
(USA)

My abuse was milder than some people on this site. I was abused by three different people. The first instance was when I was 6. I had a babysitter that would hit my sis and put my stuffed animals in the freezer to punish me. I vowed to never do that to a child.

The next instance happened only one time. A cousin molested me when I was 12. I was well developed for a girl my age. Having a CP (Cerebral Palsy?) I did not understand why he did this to me. I don't understand now.

From ages 12-17 I was the victim of very severe bullying. I would be riding my bike and they would chase me. Their favorite thing was to hit me with rocks and footballs while I was on my bike. I know kids can be cruel but it's no excuse to torment anybody.

I just also want to tell people ABUSE ISN"T YOUR FAULT!! You aren't alone. I know that now.

Note from Darlene: The volume of contributor submissions has now made it impossible for me to comment personally (especially in great detail) on each and every contribution. If I haven't left you a comment or one that is in-depth, please do not take my lack of a personal response as a slight, or as a statement that your story is somehow unworthy of my time. Nothing, and I do mean nothing, could be further from the truth. If there was a way for me to respond to all of you at length, I would.
