Child Abuse Story From Eileen

by Eileen
(Location Undisclosed)




It all started when I was around 3-4. My dad is bi-polar. My brother is 5 years older than me. First my brother would just touch me-inappropriately. Then it went on to full on sex, both oral and anal. I couldn't tell, and on top of that no one believed me. Then my dad came in and started molesting me, too. So by then I had 2 different guys doing this to me.

By the age of 6 or 7, my dad was really favoring my brother and would molest me, and beat and scream at me for no good reason.

I'm now 14. And dealt with Child Services twice in my life, and they have done nothing. Now my parents got divorced and my dad quickly remarried to a lady with two sons. And my mother married Paul, my stepfather. So now Paul screams at me for eternity and watches me sleep and locks me in rooms and such. My brother still does everything he used to. But thankfully, my science teacher has literally kept me breathing. There are no words that could say thank you enough.

My mother yells at me for eternity, too. I'm basically living in hell. Every day I wonder if I should keep breathing. Four more years and I'll be out.

A number to call...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

Eileen, you said you've gone to Child Services twice and nothing happened. By "nothing" I gather you mean that nothing changed.

Some time ago, another visitor having similar challenges that you are facing wrote her story on my site. A social worker commented on that story with a suggestion that the teen contact Social Services and ask to speak to a supervisor, which would have the effect of escalating the case. I don't know if this would make a difference in your situation, but that is an option for you. I also suggest you contact Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) in order to talk to someone about what you are dealing with. They are staffed 24/7 with professionally trained counsellors who will listen to you. And it sounds to me as though you need someone to listen to you. I for one am very glad that you are still "breathing", Eileen. You have a lot to offer. Don't ever lose sight of that. Don't ever believe that you aren't worthy and deserving of love and positive attention, because you are worthy. Keep your head up, stay strong, and talk to people who can help.

Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me. I wish you all the best, dear.

Eileen, I've moved your post to the comments section of your original story contribution, because I do not post duplicate, or what is essentially duplicate, content on separate pages. In my original comments to you, I gave you a number to contact. There isn't anyone on this site who can truly help you, other than to offer encouragement; some of whom already have. Please contact the people at Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453). They are in a better position to offer assistance.

dont give up
by: katrina

I lived in a home when constant screaming was going on.I was also slapped and hit but not sexually abused.My ally and friend was my brother and I feel terrible that your brother became an enemy.Can you talk to your chemistry teacher or the principal of your school?He might even know of other abused kids in your situation.You are not worthless you are very tough .The fact that you went on this website is proof that you havent given up.Keep posting and talk to that teacher!

Scream
by: Not Broken !!!!

Scream your head off to make them listen. Social Service can be stupid some times. Tell them to example you. Scream till someone listen. Get out...go to the police, go to a teacher, go to anyone you trust. Get yourself out of that hell hole. You are wonderful and life is beautiful. You have the RIGHT to live a normal life without the pain. I am praying for you. Good Luck...SCREAM AS LOUD AS YOU CAN TO MAKE SOMEONE TO HEAR YOU.
