Child Abuse Story From Lea
by Lea
(Pennsylvania, USA)
I am 15 years old. I was physically abused by my mother. She was the kind of person who would seem nice to everyone else, but then when the door closed and it was just me and her she would become literally my worst nightmare. I also have 2 siblings, but they didn't get beat nearly as much as I did.
One of many stories I have is: I was 2 and my little sister was 1, and she was coming from somewhere and my mom was sitting right next to where my sister was but instead my mom wanted me to get her. I went to get her but "I didn't get there fast enough" and my mom started beating me with a 4x4 piece of wood. My older brother finally called the police and they came and they immediately called the ambulance. They arrested my mom and she was put in prison for a year. One year. I was nearly dead when the EMTs got there and they said it was a miracle that I lived.
I was also sexually abused by the babysitter my mother hired. He already had a warrant out for molesting children, but my mom didn't care. I later had to testify against that man. If you're wondering where my dad was at through all of this, he was working. He drove trucks and didn't have custody of me (until the 4x4 incident).
I haven't seen or heard from my mother in 12 years. She abandoned me and I am forever emotionally scared. Not only from being abused, but from her leaving. Now I'm so jumpy I can't even stand it. I cry over everything and I have thee worst attitude. Nobody understands that I have soo much anger built up, and without seeing my mom and asking her questions that I need answered, I'm never gonna be happy in life. I always try to push people away to see if they come back 'cause I really don't think I'm worthy of anything that can possibly be good, because so far nothing good has happened.
