Child Abuse Story From Faith M Part 2

by Faith M
(New York, USA)




Thank you for what you've done: 
I called this thank you for what you've done because I'm the victim of emotional abuse! Thanks to you I have a name for what has happened and is happening to me. I'm still a child living with my parents so this is top secret! I wanted to get my story out there (posted yesterday). In fifth grade I started to take a stand. I was getting sick of my mom and her unfairness. I know that there isn't much of a point because I can't win but it's still worth a try. I am going into sixth grade this year. I don't know what will happen and not only is a new school scary I have to worry about my home life. I'm moving out when I am 18. I want to start a foundation for child abuse victims and I want to be a Broadway actress. I hope things will get better and I believe that one day they will.

I'm always delighted when visitors share that my site has been helpful in some way. Recognizing that abuse isn't your fault can be very liberating. I am concerned about you fighting back, though I understand that you would. I fought back when I had no power as a child being abused; it cost me dearly. Parents have far more rights than children. Parents can make choices for you that could make things even worse: like sending you to a detention centre. As I stated in my comments to your story posted yesterday, please consider contacting Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) in order to talk to someone about the abuse you are still dealing with. They are staffed 24/7 with professionally trained counsellors who will listen to you. They are not a reporting agency, although they can help you through the process of reporting if you decide to disclose the abuse. Visit their website by copying & pasting the following URL into your browser: http://www.childhelp.org/get_help

You deserve that kind of help, Faith. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me. I send you love, light and healing energy.
