Child Abuse Story From Doragene

by Doragene
(USA)




MY STORY FROM THEN TO STILL NOW: 
LITTLE GIRL i was when MOMMY DEAREST WOULD YELL, SCREAM, WAKE THE WHOLE HOUSE UP, JUST TO GET ATTENION. i was born in the summer of 1957. remembering my childhood it was like the calm before the storm. mother was and still is very abusive mentally,and can be if not stopped! phyically abusive. the way really to discribe her is like the movie,(Mommy Dearest) and that's putting it lightly. she separated my only brother from me. she never allowed me to meet my biological father. i lived with my mother and step father till i was 15years old. she cut me off with support. i was forced to live with friends.as a young girl she would advise me to date much older men. she was always creating problems with family members. there was never a day that i could remember her being close and comforting to me or my brother. one could never get close to her. i believe she is delusional and has been dignosed with schizophrenia. she refuses to get help and i can't till today get her help. My step dad died 10 yrs ago with cancer and in his last days she would move him from hospital to hospital so that myself and kids couldn't be with him. My step dad was a wonderful man and was not allowed to ever disply affection to me unfortunatley he died young and was also abused by her as well. its hurts me till today just thinking and writing all this,about a woman that gave birth to me. i am a grandmother today and have 3 grandchildren that mean the whole world to me. my only daughter is 37 yrs old. i love her dearly and do anything to show my love & concerns. i could continue with my story but i have to stop here since it breaks me down. maybe enother day. forgive for not continuing.

Write only what is comfortable for you. The whole reason for this site is to ensure survivors can be and are heard. Given there are so many stories in queue and it takes upwards of a month for me to post new contributions, if you do decide you want to write more, I suggest you write it as a comment on this page. Just remember there is a 3000 character limit (about 500 words) per comment. I also hope you are in some form of counselling or therapy in order to help you deal with the repercussions of what you endured as a child: the abuse, the abandonment and the betrayal. As for your mother, you can't help her unless she herself wants help. So help your Self, and leave your mother to her Self. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

The Horror
by: Anonymous

Doragene, what a sick, sadistically insane, deluded mother that you had to beat and berate you 24/7...how dare she! The path that she chose is inexcusable. Oh, and as for forcing you to date men that are old enough to even be your dad, that is appalling because those men could offend you. Mature, stable adults don't force their kids to date people who are old enough to be their parents; mature, stable adults, don't scream and yell at anyone, let alone when anyone else is sleeping; mature, stable adults don't isolate their own kids from each other; mature, stable adults don't beat and berate their kids; mature, stable adults don't abuse their spouses either; mature, stable adults don't prevent their kids from seeing one parent; only mentally sick, deeply disturbed people would resort to such childish tactics. She is really acting like a little 1-year-old trapped in a grown-woman's body because she is still stuck in her own childhood. Your life shouldn't have been used as a pawn for her immature, sick, sadistic misery. Oh, and it's just as appalling when she chose to use your amazing ability of cache for her sadistic gratification instead of just simply helping herself. You are not to blame for her sadistic, ignorant behavior; she is to blame because she chose to abuse you. You were the child; she was the adult; she had all the power and only misused it over you. I really hope that you're out of that house now, that you try counselling and that you look into reporting her.
