Child Abuse Story From Michelle F

by Michelle F
(Missouri, USA)




An abuser too just didn't know it at the time: 
I was abused,but that is long past.i abused my only daughter,to the point i thought i would loose her not physically,mentally by yelling and constantly checking everything she did every move she made i thought i was protecting her but i think i was smothering her,i know now i protected her the wrong way but i now have a good relationship with her,i love her more than my own life always have just didnt know how to keep her safe.to not experience what i did.i want to let parents know all you have too do is tell them what happened truthfully,you don't have to pound it in their head the way i did.i was so scared she would fall under same path i had to take i would not let her breathe.but i know it doesn't take all that to tell your child u care and to tell them to let you be there.my daughter now knows she can come to me with any problem and i will be there.once you put what has happened to you behind you.you start living for the future,i wish that it would not have taking me so long,but am glad i finally am here.

You've been very honest. By writing with such honesty here, perhaps others will realize what they may be doing to their children and affect change for the sake of the mental and physical health of their children. I'm delighted that you now have a good relationship with your daughter, that she found it in her to forgive, and that you your Self have realized how to properly treat her. Self-forgiveness is important too, and must be coupled with amends, true amends. It sounds as though you've reached that place in your life, Michelle. I commend and applaud you. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

smothering
by: michelle f

yes i thought every man that was trying to talk to my daughter was trying to molest her so i would grill her to the point of caller her a liar,but after time all we did was fight because all men were scum to me but there are men who r not like that i have learned and my daughter is the one that taught me this,she would not even talk to me,until i broke down and ask her how to over come my feelings and she started talking to me made sense then we cried together i asked her to forgive me for my actions because i was trying to protect her from what i went thru she said i understand and i know my daughter will never go thru that because i know how to protect her,just won't do it so exstreme as you did but will keep close eye on her
