Child Abuse Story From Mazy

I've only recently moved out of my home. I am so Glad i have, home was a nightmare! My mum was always in weird moods. Sometimes she would hum a song, if you could call it that. The endless drone was enough to drive me insane. Other times she would stumble about and sware like mad, mostly hitting me or complainig about me. She would drop a glass over my head when i sat down. After doing that she would surround me with crushed glass and tell me to walk over it if i wanted to go away. If i stepped over it she pushed me onto the glass. I was never allowed to wear socks or shoes inside the house and my mum had a mean trick of switching the heating in my room off on very cold days.
My Dad was always drunk, you could smell him before you could see him. He would hit me alot and throw me around. His threats were quite scary;
"Smile at me wrong today and i'll crush you!"
"I'll slap you so hard they'll never find your F'ing body!"
"If you want to be famous, i'll make you famous. The first girl to be found completely black and blue!"
I used to put on a brave face to this but when he was gone and finished hitting me i would cry for ages.
When i got my HPV jag he took great pleasure in smacking me where the needle had been.
My school never suspected anything. They thought I joined lots of free clubs because i was willing to learn, but it was only to get away from home. I didn't talk because it was polite, but it was because i was scared to. I didn't show emotion because i was strong, but it was because i had to always keep it in. I was covered in marks because i was clumsy and wild, but it was because of my parents.
I am now 17 and i have left my house and trying to get a job as an occupational therapist. I am also trying to take in my sister who is having to live through the same as i did.
