Child Abuse Story From Melanie

by Melanie
(Location Undisclosed)




When i was about in the forth grade my half brother would come spend the summer with us thats when the abuse started. I remember one time he made me take my pants down and try to have sex with me. I remember the pain like yesterday i got up and ran to the room with my mother. The second time my parents were outside and he kept trying to get under the cover with me and kept showing me his penis. He died when i was 13 he drowned and i have never told anyone about this it has caused alot of issues with my life. My mother has emotionally and physical abused me i have nothing to do with her i hope that no one would do to my children this way or hope that i never come to that point where i would abuse them

The beautiful thing about being grown up and mature is that we can choose who and what we're going to be. We can choose how we're going to act and react. The fact that you came from abuse does not mean that you have be abusive as a parent. The fact that you were abused can be the catalyst for NOT being abusive, as you've learned what it feels like so you don't want to repeat it to another human being. The fact that you say you hope you don't abuse your own children tells me that you are equipped with awareness and understanding. What is important before you have children is to learn how to deal with your own anger in a positive and healthy way, how to impose discipline in a firm but loving and kind way. These are the earmarks of a person who is ready for positive parenting. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
