Child Abuse Story From Nancy4

by Nancy
(Location Undisclosed)

I have been abused by my mother since I was 4 years old. I am now 13, and thankfully the abuse has stopped for the most part, but my mother and I still fight a lot.

Throughout my childhood, I was hit, slapped, and whipped. I still remember the day my mom came home, and I had not done the dishes yet. She was so mad, she took off her shoe and started clubbing me with it, eventually causing a black eye. My dad had no idea about the abuse, and when he got home and saw my eye, he was so upset that he called the police. They came and brought my mother away, and put her through intensive therapy. I was so glad that she was gone, but in the end, I found myself wishing I could have gone, too, to get some therapy as well.

I have a lot of bad memories, a lot of things I want to talk about, but no one to talk to. Yet I am hesitant to go, because everyone would make fun of me if they found out. The thing that I hate the most is that when my mom and I fight, she tells me that I am verbally ABUSING her. It's so annoying, because she's the one who abuses ME. But inside I know it's all my fault. I know that no one would even do that to a real person-especially their own kid-without a good reason. I am sorry for making my mother do such horrible things. Now she never touches me, not even for a hug. I just wish I could do something to make her love me again.
