Child Abuse Story From Dougie

by Dougie
(Britian)




When i was younger everyone thought i was the coolest kid around. I was fairly good-looking and i was laid back and funny, i loved soaking up the attention.
I guess that was because at Home my dad was an... idiot, basically. My mum was always busy with something so i got landed with my dad.
He'd annoy me to tears until i shouted at him giving him the perfect excuse to hit me. I made extra sure to scowl at him after that and blot to my room.
My dad was good at making me embarresed infront of my frieds too, i don't know how he did it but i can always remeber feeling frustrated at him.
That's really all he did until i was 15, i had made quite a bit of money doing differant jobs over in london and i was saving up to get away from him. I was kind of going through a "job problem" then and i usually came to ask my mum for advice. A few days before i got told my exam results to see if i was able to become what i wanted my dad left the home with a load of Money. I can't say i miss him at all but it left my mum in ruins, she had been sacked and it was really only our savings that were keeping us strong then. So i gave up my savings, postponing my wish to leave the house. Even though my dad was gone i still felt trapped in that house. A year later i bought a flat with my three friends, one who also hated his dad, so i suddenly felt like i could talk to him. Anyway, it's five years on and i am in university. I don't care about what happend to my dad but when i went to go back home my mum had left and it was a stranger in the house. I often wonder about my mum and if she is ok.

It doesn't sound as though you had the most loving parents. There seemed to be neglect, but I can't say for sure. Not even your mother had the decency to at least tell you she was moving, let alone where. Continue to look forward in your life. Complete your education so that you can support yourself in a way that's comfortable. Consider some form of counselling in order to deal with the repercussions of your family life, especially if they are haunting you in any way. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF:
by: maurice

Dougie another set of uncaring, ignorant absolute idiots both of them: You must have been an exceptional child/teenager highly intelligent with a willingness to work and earn your own pocket money with all the jobs you took on: You are gifted, you have tallents and it looks like you have leadership qualities to to share them with others: A percent of parent's should never have children as they are incapable of loving and cherishing them as is their duty and rsposibility: You stay in education: you'll succeed have no doubt about that: Don't be too pushed worrying abiut your parents who did'nt give a damn about treating you with dignity and ordinary common courtesy to let you know where they ended up, especially your mother: Always Believe in Yourself Dougie: Have a healthy mind in a healthy body get out with your friends and fellow students or like-minded people taking part in team sports and sporting and cultural activities: You'll feel good about yourself: Live well: Laugh often and love much: I will: I can: I must because I am WORTH it
