Child Abuse Story From Mary C
by Mary C
(USA)
THE PAIN! The abuse all started at the age of 5. I was sexually and physically abused by my stepdad. I had 2 brothers and 2 sisters. I was the oldest. When my mom and dad got a divorce my life was falling APART. When my stepdad moved in, he seemed to be nice.
On a Thursday my mom was on a business trip. I forgot to do the dishes. So Bryan came into my room and woke me up and slapped me so hard my check was swollen for a WEEK! HE NEVER hurt my siblings.
When he was picking me up from a friend's house, when I got in the car he started touching me and trying to kiss me on my neck. He was touching me in an inappropriate way. He would say if I told anyone he would slice my head ofF.
Two years later I couldn't take it anymore. I STARTED FREAKING OUT! So when I went to school I told my teacher. When I got home from school Child Protective Services were at my home. One of the workers asked me, do I want to get the police involved. I said YES! The police put Bryan in jail for 5 years and a half. My mom doesn't go with him. I'm 23 and married now.
