Child Abuse Story From Rosalie L
by Rosalie L
(Montana, USA)
I used to think who would listen, who would care? For as long as I can remember,We were beat (slapped ,punched,spanked,hair pulled) for no reason some times. One time my mother hit me so hard on my back my kidneys were bruised,I hurt so bad especially when i tried to pee.My mother took me to the doctor,she made me say I was playing and a neighbor boy hit me. I think though the worst times were when she would bring men home to sleep in the same bed. they would touch me, put they're fingers in me and I would lay there as still as possible with my eyes closed, just hoping and praying it would stop. I felt so dirty.After I became an adult I would lay there when I was making love and all I could think about was how could she not know they were doing those things to me?How could she not know where their hands were? Anyway back to my story,when I was about 6, this man (not the man from before) started babysitting.I put my sister closer to the wall, so he couldn't touch her,but he did anyway.I told my mother and she said she would take care of it. Imagine my horror when I came home one evening to find him sitting there. My mom told me he was babysitting.I began to cry, to act out in anger! She told me that when she told my father he said I was lying,that he didn't believe me! She began to beat me with a branch she broke off a rose bush.I had many cuts and scratches. Of course he cleaned me up,saying my parents didn't care, that he loved me.After that I never complained again. He would leave me money not to say anything.My mom thought "oh how nice,after all those mean things you said" Many more incidents happened but I think those early years pretty much shaped my life for many years to come.I grew up thinking I was pretty worthless, one day I did confront my father he said he never knew, my mom had never told him. I believe him because he cried then became very angry. Anyway it was too little too late.
