Child Abuse Story From Suzy

Daddy's Little Girl, Suzy: 
I was four. It was a beautiful morning, and my mother had just come back from Dallas. She and her new husband were going to take me home, finally, but one month later, she left again. That's all I remember till I was 6.

The hits started out as taps on the back of the head, and became worse when I was seven. One week after I became seven, I made a mistake by swinging a chain and hit my little sister in the stomach. She cried and my stepdad came out. After my sister spilled out the incident, he picked up the chain and hit me on the butt, hard. I've asked my mom if he had ever done something like this before, and she told me that when I was three, (before my mom and stepdad were married) I walked in the middle of the street while a truck was heading my way. He darted in the road and grabbed me and pulled me out of the way. When the car passed he pulled down my pants and hit my butt so hard that later there was a black bruise. He was sent to jail and came back a month later.

Another week passed. I felt strong and told him he was a bitch. He hit me again and left another black bruise. Afterwards, the slaps got worse. Soon there were bruises on my butt, face, and the back of my head.

When I was eight, my mother left him and that was the end of that. I have been living with my grandmother and mom for four years, and one year she got drunk and beat me. My legs, my back, my face, and arms were all bruised. And now it's all over, and I can't forget it.
