Child Abuse Story From Katherine R

by Katherine R
(British Columbia, Canada)

well, i have an older brother (he is 28 and still lives at home) and for the past little while my brother has been treating me really horribly. he is always treating me like i am worthless and extremely pathetic. he always tells me I'm stupid and he calls me a selfish b**ch all the time. he also calls me a fat pig because i always eat a lot of food (I'm bulimic) and he tells me i should just give up trying to lose weight because it will never happen. every time i walk by him or he looks at me or he comes into the room and I'm just resting, he looks at me like I'm the stupidest thing on the planet and i shouldn't be wasting precious air. some times we get into fights and he gets really angry, he has hit me and pushed me against a wall. tonight he started screaming at me for being on the computer to0 late and when i wouldn't go to bed he proceeded to scream at me calling me a worthless b**ch and then he grabbed my wrist and shoulder and pushed me across the kitchen into the table. when i started to cry he started telling me i was a cry baby and needed to grow up. i went into the bathroom and locked the door, he stood outside the door imitating my crying and saying ooh... boohoo, you poor baby. while i was still in the bathroom he went and picked up the things i had knocked over from being pushed into the table and i could hear him saying " what a f***ing messy b**ch, she cant even clean up her own f***ing mess." I'm just confused because I've heard of emotional abuse but only coming from parents not siblings. thanx for reading

Most definitely, there's a thing called sibling abuse; and you're in the thick of it. Your brother has serious anger problems; and you're taking the brunt of that anger. He's not only emotionally abusing you, he's physically abusing you. And if you parents won't step in to protect you from his assaults, you need to disclose to someone who will. What he's doing is illegal, and you're in a dangerous situation with him. The fact that he calls you those nasty names tells me he has no respect for you (likely no respect for women in general). You must stand up for yourself, but not directly to him; that's too risky. Please contact Kids Helpline in Canada at 1-800-668-6868. They are staffed with professionally trained counsellors who will help you with your options.

Just remember, you do not have to keep living in fear like this. If your parents refuse to step up to the plate, they are enabling the abuse he's inflicting on you. Their job is to protect you; and right now, they're failing at that job. Please tell someone, because you don't deserve to be mistreated in any way. You deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

The Horror
by: Anonymous

Katherine, I can't believe that your parents would abandon you to the so-called care of that sick, sadistic, misogynistic, ignorant monster of a brother and even allow him to beat, torture and berate you everyday...how dare they! That's not even baby-sitting; that's just torture and I'm sure that something's seriously wrong with your brother. If he didn't want to be there, then he should've had the courage to leave instead of sadistically abusing you in this way. The path that he and your parents chose is inexcusable. Oh, and he is wrong. You are not stupid; you are smart and articulate. You are not a b**** (please excuse my French!); you are a nice, sweet, beautiful girl. You are not a fat pig; you are not messy; you are perfect just as you were. You are not selfish; you are kind. You are not worthless; you are worthy of love, dignity and respect. You are not pathetic; you are strong. Don't ever believe any of those lies he is spewing. He is a truly sadistic, uncontrolled, inhumane beast and a coward because only cowards would so such things to such a helpless little girl you once were. You deserved so much better than what he did to you; you don't need your terrible, sadistic, ignorant monster of a brother; you don't need to spend any time nor emotion on such a sexist person who denies the fact that women are equal to men; in fact, all men and women are created equally. Oh, and mocking you and laughing at you for crying after you had to lock yourself in the bathroom really shows me how uneducated and ignorant he really is. Oh, and you are not to blame for his sadistic behavior; he is to blame because he chose to abuse and torture you. He had all the power and he misused it over you, so the sooner you tell someone, the better. Please, Kahterine, please tell someone you really trust and keep telling until he/she will finally listen to you and help you. Oh, and don't ever let that sicko of a brother destroy you.
