Child Abuse Story From Jessica9

Living the life I want: 
When I was under six I got sexually abuse by a much older cousin. That went on for years. By the time I told people, it was too late. I remember when he would touch me and make me touch him. That stopped, and then the abuse from my father and his girlfriend began. By the time I was 10 years old I was getting beat every day and had my underwear from the day before in my mouth.

I left that house when I was 12 years old. The day before I left, my dad's girlfriend beat me so much I had a black eye, fat lip and bruises all over me. I lived with an aunt that would throw things and yell. I was tired of all the abuse and tried killing myself a few times.

I am 27 years old now and have two kids. My life is much better than it has ever been. I want to live and share my story with others. I will not let anything happen to my kids.
