Child Abuse Story From Jenny Part 2
by Jenny
(Missouri, USA)
I debated on whether or not to include this part of the story, but decided it may help someone.
Jim, (my step-grandfather), molested me, my sisters, my cousin, and my mother, as I stated in Part 1 of the story. What I didn't tell you, was what happened to my mom.
When I became an adult, my mom told me of the abuse she had suffered. When my grandma would go to work at night, Jim would either put in an X rated movie or bring out the dirty magazines, and make my mom watch him masturbate. He would show her his penis. He actually had sexual relations with a goat at one point.
My mom still struggles with the pain it has caused her. She is now 50 years old. She never finished school because of this. She was extremely violent towards other kids during her childhood, which is why she was kicked out of schools. She started smoking cigarettes at the age of 7. She quit about 7 years ago. She has always been a good mother to us, but she has always had a short fuse. I remember one Christmas morning she had made a huge dinner and one of my sisters wanted to go back to bed to take a nap. My mom threw the entire dinner on the floor of the kitchen and stormed off. We didn't get to have Christmas dinner that day.
My mom is addicted to pain medications and her brothers all have substance abuse problems. I don't know if my uncles were abused by Jim.
My point in telling all of this is that child abuse, or any abuse for that matter, has lasting effects on people. It's so hard to move on. There's no way to ever forget the abuse you've suffered, but I believe with all my heart that there is hope!
