Child Abuse Story From Kourtnee

by Kourtnee
(Utah, USA)




When I was very young my biological mother would often beat me. She was always high on one drug or another and often was asleep on the couch for the most part of the day. She had my older sister when she was just 16 and me when she had just barely turned 18. We always had diffrent men coming through our house but never a true father. The longest one stayed was a year. His name was J**. My birth mother put a rather rapid end to that one when she commited adultry with a man named B****. The first night I ever met B**** was the night that he raped me. I was 7 years old.My birth mom sat and watched on the couch, too drugged out to care. I never reported it until a year ago, at the age of fifteen to my Mom now who adopted me at the age of 8. She was originally my Aunt. I'm sixteen years old now and I have gone through a great deal of therapy but sometimes I still feel angry towards my birth mother for allowing these things to happen to me. I hate her sometimes for giving one of my little brothers Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and for making the other one so messed up he can't even function. But I also feel sorry for her. She hasn't been able to see me grow up at all and she still lives in a mental hospital and she believes that she is still on top. That she's beat the drugs and that she doesn't need them. But if she didn't need them, then why did she love them more than her own children? Sometimes I don't understand what her thinking is but I do know that I was strong enough to conquer this. I made it through and I know taht all of you guys can too. Keep fighting your inner turmoil because I know you all can get through this. Keep the faith!

You've earned that anger, and I understand it oh so well. Allow your Self to feel it fully and deeply, and all the emotions that result. If you ever rage, consider punching a pillow. I used to have a metal tennis racket and an old couch that had big thick pillow-like cushions on the back. During my rage-full moments, I would take tennis racket and use it to pound the cushions on that couch. Of course, it was always a safe place and no one was around me. I made sure of that. Those cushions took such a beating more than once. And while I vented using this method, I would also scream out all that was bothering me, just to let it out. And something amazing would happen, Kourtnee. The release was so healing. I didn't need to do this very often, but it helped during my more difficult angry times. Then I started to turn to just allowing my Self to feel everything I felt...and then something amazing started to happen. Those feelings started to let me go. Not the other way around, like you hear some people say. I always found that I couldn't let go of anything that difficult...it had to let go of me. And when these feelings did let go, I was truly free. Your mother has serious problems. Her brain has been adversely affected by all the drugs. She isn't in her right mind because of the drugs. ot an excuse, just an explanation. What's important is that you are safe, and it sounds as though you are. Stay safe and stay true to Who You Really Are. You're a caring and loving person (I can tell because of the way you feel about your siblings)...don't lose that. Embrace it. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

The Horror
by: Anonymous

Kourtnee, what a sick, sadistically insane, deluded mother you had to beat, torture and even abandon you to that disgusting pervert and allow him to rape you...how dare she! No one has to go through that! She is so twisted in her own ways of thinking that she doesn't even know how to take care of herself, let alone be a mother to you. Plus, a mother who chooses such a pedophile over her own precious daughter is the mother who doesn't deserve to have said daughter in her life. Oh, and mothers who abuse their own daughters are one of the real abusers. She's got all the power; she just chose to misuse it over you. Oh, and thank goodness you survived; try talking to your aunt because she is always there to help you when you'll need her. I also hope that you try counselling.

Thank you :)

Thank you so much for letting me vent on here. I've felt so alone for so long and having people comment and actually care means the world to me. I went to court today for B****, but nobody believed me. They all said I was lieing because B**** said I had "begged for it". I felt kinda slutty actually. He got off, charged as not guilty :(, but I plan to keep pressing charges until they actually lock this man up. I want to stop him before he gets to some other little girl.
