Child Abuse Story From Pete1

by Pete
(Bangkok, Thailand)




I'd like to share the story with you and encourage for you who also suffered from child abuselike me don't give up! I know my story wasn't the most severe or brutal but psychologically it had a huge impact a lot later on in my life. I lived in the small polluted province around bangkok i suffered from recent depression and tried to commit suicide more than onece, although i'm still holding on to what i beleive that life is great and i'm grateful to have one. my child abuse story started since i could remember my dad he had a bi-polar disorder and my mom also had depression, from outside we looked just like a normal perfect family my dad was a well-known busniessman so was my mother. The verbal abuse were regular issue for the family which made me became a very quite child i dindn't like to communicate and kept to myself. Oneday i stood up and protected my mother from the beatdown my dad was so furious he took up a knife and ran after me i was so scared but had to fight him i was 16 at that time i still remembered till today, the physical abuse were also part of it especiallywhen i was young i got beaten a lot now i'm at collage and everytime i came back at home i still had a flashback and paick attack afriad that i was going to be stabbed by my father...it can't be normal for me anymore although my mom usually said you are lucky to have a family though i felt like i still had to confront fear and demon inside me all the time i begin to have uncontrolled emotion outburst and sudden sadness. but maybr things will get better because i'm only 20 and maybe the depression will get better i tried th medication and everything that will work hoping oneday this will not happen again

thank you for sharing and reading the stories
Pete

I commend you for trying to stay positive. And try to stay away from your abusive parents if that's at all possible. They aren't healthy for you right now. If it's possible, I recommend some form of counselling to help you deal with all the turmoil of your past, but also with the depression that still plagues you. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

Together as one: Together as HUMAN
by: maurice

Darlene's site is truly a family one. bringing people ( Her Visitors) of all nationalties onto share their abuse story as a beginning for some healing and to be healed. Her comment to you Pete1 is from her heart to yours. Canada to Bankok no differnece because it is one human heart to another. Abuse is Abuse so Pete1 you are flesh and blood like each of us whatevr part of the world people were (are) abused in. Pete think positive thoughts about yourself. You are an intelligent young adult with awful childhood memories of an ABUSIVE horrid Father. (Parents) being at college affords you the opportunity to seek out the help of a counsellor in your college. The surest way forward for you. You can and you will have a good life to live after your abuse experience as a child/teenager. There is greatness and goodness in you. share that with you friends. Have a healthy mind in a healthy body. intergrate and mix with likeminded peers. show off your giftedness, your tallents, DON@T BE SHY. Look in the mirror she that hulk of guy and say ''wow'' that's me beautiful.
