Child Abuse Story From Kelsey

by Kelsey
(Manty County, WI, USA)




I'm not sure if I was abused or I was not abused. When I was little my mum would always say that I was stupid, and that I'll never amount to nothing. Or that I'm fat and stuff like that. I was completely scared out of my wits when she would start hollering because sometimes she would smack me on the head and I'd run and cry, and she'd normally say "Shut the fuck up, or I'll give you something to cry about".

Also when I was younger, I was friends with this boy. We were about three. Just this year, I think I understood why he did what he did because we had a molester on our street. He used to touch me in places that shouldn't be touched. He would also make me suck his penis. I would have to let him lick/touch my vagina.

In first grade I met Jade and we became friends. Once when I slept over at her house, she locked the door in the basement and made me take my clothes off and she'd touch me and then she would make me touch her. Otherwise she had threatened that she would make me walk home at one in the morning. I was only seven. I was scared shitless.

Another time when I was going into fourth grade, I had acne and I wouldn't let my mum pick at it. I was covering my face, and she was smacking my hands for a good solid ten minutes until she finally gave up.

Another time was when I was going to Six Flags with my friend. The night before, I had to get a swimsuit. My mom was starting to call me fat and ugly. On the way home I was pretty much crying my eyes out because she was just screaming at me. I finally told her to shut up. She just kept going on and on. When we got home she said she was sorry. I told her that I couldn't just forgive her. Then she started calling me a bitch because I wouldn't forgive her.

Again, my mom started yelling at me because I had acne. I couldn't help it. But she keeps thinking that I know how to prevent it and crap. It's just sometimes what she says, it really hurts. If it is abuse, I wouldn't say that it's that big of a deal any more. I'm used to it. That's all there is to it. It's not that bad any more.

Anyone dealing with really bad abuse, don't let it keep happening. Instead, try to find help.

It is child abuse
by: Darlene Barriere

Yes, Kelsey, what you suffered through with your mother was child abuse. It was emotional abuse. If you go onto my types of emotional abuse page, you'll find more information about this form of abuse.

What happened to you with the boy who lived on your street was abuse, however, because he was a little boy, it's not as clear cut. You mentioned knowing why (you suspect he was molested by a neighbourhood man). Regardless of whether or not the legal system would call it abuse, you are still having to deal with the residual. I hope you are able to speak with someone you trust about all this.

Sympathy
by: Francine

I may not know you well, but I'm sorry about what you went through cuz you know, my parents had done the same thing to me before. I'm also sorry about what your mom did to you.

It's not bad now. Like now we get in fights about mostly teenage stuff, cause I normally rebel a lot. I don't think what Jade or Shawn did really effected me now, because it happened so long ago that I honestly don't really remember much of it. I know my mom loves me and all, it's just her anger that gets the best of her at times. Pfft, now I feel like I'm blaming myself, but I'm not.
