Child Abuse Story From Miss L

by Miss L
(Location Undisclosed)




im 12 years old and a girl. Lets say my name is Miss L. My dad used to be an alchoholic and abuse all of my siblings. I had no idea of this until he started to do it infront of me.The first time, my brother called to me that they were playing around.As my drunk father slurred insults at him and threw plates and glasses at him. I was 5 and belived him. Not knowing any better, i went back to bed and fell asleep to the sound of them argueing and the sound of slapping. I blame myself for beliveing my brothers attempts to protect me and not saving him...

In the morning, i went down stairs to blood on the carpet and the house looked like world war 3 had happend.I imedietly ran to my dad's bedroom and told him i thort somebody had broken in. I wish i hadnet. As soon as he stood up from bed i saw the blood on his hands and shirt. Most was from his own nose, but i gues the rest was from my brother. HE WAS ONLY 14! i ran away from him through shear fear. I went directly to d--. (my brother) he was in bad shape. i sat and hugged him for what seemed like hours before we both fell asleep.

Thats pretty much how things went for the next year. The same with all 3 of my siblings. My mother had died whilst in laybour with me so we all had nobody. He never touched me though. He said many times that i was the good one, that he wouldnt lay a finger on me.He was a cold hard lier.

It only happend once and i dont want to talk about it yet.I was 7 at the time.I didnt bleed, but i had many bruises. After it happend to me, D--, me and my 2 sisters ran away and now live with our mothers parents.They are so lovely and caring. They are the nicest people in my life. I would just like to say that my brother pulled us together again. HE was the one that saved us and fought for me and my sisters when we were being abused.I love you d--.

Thank you for letting me share my story. IT DOES GET BETTER, I PROMISE! DON'T GIVE UP HOPE, AND NEVER THINK NOBODY IS THERE FOR YOU. everyone has a saviour and i hope you all found yours, or will find them soon xx

Love :
Miss L

Miss L:
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

You have a wonderful brother in D-- (name doctored in order to ensure privacy and that you remain anonymous). And don't EVER believe that you could have protected your brother that night. At 5 years old you were completely helpless and powerless to do anything. And if you had tried, your brother would not only have had to protect him Self, but you too, and that could have meant that he would have been hurt and harmed that much worse. D-- is a hero. He protected you knowing full well that you couldn't protect your Self. So you must start looking at things differently so that you can rid your Self of the guilt. You have NO guilt to carry. The person with the guilt, and shame for that matter, is your deeply disturbed and alcoholic father. He was the one with all the power, Miss L; and he misused that power. D-- saw that, and he took steps to bring you all to safety. And now you're in a happy and healthy home, which is what each of you deserve. I can only hope that your father got the help he needed and that your brother does too. I also hope you have a chance to talk to someone about how you're feeling about all this so that you realize that you have no blame to share. All you have is love to share, and that you do, Miss L, that you do. I send you love, light and healing energy, dear one. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
