Child Abuse Story From Linda
by Linda
im 17 almost 18 and from the age of 2 up until i was 16 i had been emotional and physicaly abused by my step mother, when i was 2 i was taken away from my real mother for reason i still dont know, i was raised by my father and his girlfriend they were young about 18 at the time, my step mother would stay home and "look after" me whilst my dad was at work. she use to through things at me like shoes and kitchen wear, anything she thought she could hit me with that would leave a mark but would still cause pain, dad never found out, when i started school at the age of 6, i once went to school with a big bruise on my arm and i had taken my school jumper off and the teacher noticed the bruise and asked me what happend i remember replying "mummy grabbed me really hard and hit me with the spoon because i didnt clean my room" i dont remember clearly what the teacher said but they called family SA and they said that my step mum had to take anger managment classes which she never did and families SA never did anything about it once i got to about the age of 14 the abuse got worse, there was one night when i was about 15 that i was cooking dinner and i was straining the peas and i dropped the strainer with the peas in it on the floor and dad wasnt home so my step mum who was in the kitchen knocked me on the floor really hard and said that i was a useless b**** and worth nothing and she wished she nevver raised me, then kicked me in the ribs, and punched me in the face, and broke my nose and also gave me black eyes, and still sent me to school the next day the school did nothing about it, there where many other incidents when she had sent me to school black and blue, i now have scars all over my body from her abuse there were times when she held knifes to my throat and threated me to get out of the house and when i left the house she would drag me back in by my hair and abuse me further and not feed me for days on end. when i turned 16 i had a boyfriend and one night my step mum was abusing me she had kicked me in the stomach which made me not be able to move which also resulted in my step mum to be able to abuse me further this time she was trying to strangle me whilst sitting on top of me so i bit her and tryed to get away which was not possible as i couldnt move very well, at that point she grabbed a knife and had cut my leg open, later that night i went to my room to clean my self up, i deciced to text my boyfriend and ask hiim to come pick me up as he could drive, when he came he was very shocked to see the state that i was in so he called the police and took me to the hospital, that night i moved in with my grandfather who i have been living with ever since. i have finaly told my dad what had been going on and he said that he had had suspicions of the abuse going on and when i asked why he didnt do anything he said it was because he did not want to lose his girlfreind. from the day he said that i have not spoken to him and do not intend to anytime soon becasue my belief is that parents are supose to be there to protect you and my father did not do that. to this day i still have very vivid flash backs and struggle with trust which makes it hard to make friends. i am on antidepressiants and also see a concouler, and have health problems and am in and out of hospital regualy which interfers with my school so i am doing school part time now until my life is a little bit more stable. sorry about the bad grammar and spelling.
