Child Abuse Story From Gabrielle1

by Gabrielle

Trying to save a nephew from abuse and a survivor's story: 
This is not only my story, but the story of my one-year-old nephew. For thirteen years I was abused as a child by mother and hid it from my father because I thought he would kill my mother. I loved my mother as a child, and still love her, but not as much as I used to.

When my parents split in 2003 I decided to let the truth be known of how my mother treated me, because I knew that as long as my daddy had custody of me my mother couldn`t hurt me. Well, needless to say, I survived after having second degree burns and twenty-seven stitches put in my head from her abuse!

Now my one-year-old nephew is being abused by his father and I have called the law to see if I can prevent the things that happened to me as a child from happening to him. I honestly hope and pray I don't have to bury my nephew because of what his father has done to him and probably will do.

Please keep me and my nephew in your thoughts and prayers. May God Bless all who have been through any kind of abuse!
