Child Abuse Story From Tatiana

by Tatiana
(Texas, USA)

I have a pretty good life, but most of the time it's rough. My mom yells at me when I don't do anything and she calls me names and sometimes she hits me. She does drugs and I don't know if that messed up her mind or something. Like today the carpet man came (we got new carpet) and he unplugged the TV, but it broke and wouldn't turn on and my mom blamed me. She yelled at me and called me names and I had to fix it. I had to pull the 5oo-pound entertainment center out and try to fix it, but I couldn't and she got really mad.

When I was younger I had to go with her to her drug friend's house while she got drugs. It was a bad experience. One time we had to run from the police. That was scary. I have flashbacks sometimes.

I know this sounds weird but I think I have a gift of something because I can sense what is going to happen and it freaks me out.

My dad is in jail. He was on the news but I'm not gonna tell why.

When I'm at school these seven or eight guys touch me in the wrong places, like my butt, breast and between my legs. They pinned me up against the lockers and they rubbed on me. They want me to do things to them. I'm only 12. I can't concentrate at school because I'm scared of them, and because I have flashbacks of my life and my mom. I try to get suspended because of those boys, but when I do my mom yells at me and gets very very mad.

When I was 7 I called the police because she got really mad at me, but I'm only trying to get her help. It's not fair because she is nice to my family and her friends, but behind closed doors.........

My mom lets me watch her do drugs. I try to take it and hide the drugs but she always ends up buying more with money that should go to other things. I don't know what to do about my life.

Thanks for listening. God bless you.

TELL someone...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

Tatiana, drugs will definitely mess up a person's mind. When your mother yells at you and hits you and has expectations of you that are unreasonable, and when she takes you on drug buys and lets you watch her do the drugs, it's her addiction to the drugs that are at play. She's not in her right mind. That is NOT an excuse; it's merely an explanation. There are never excuses for mistreating a child.

You need to tell someone about what is happening to you, Tatiana, both at home AND at school. Talk to a school counsellor or a trusted teacher. You need the help of grown ups with regard to those boys. Getting yourself suspended from school is not the answer. Suspension might create some distance between you and those boys for a time, but sooner or later, you must go back and the problem continues. Not to mention the trouble you get into for getting suspended in the first place, and the fact that you are missing out on a good education, an education you absolutely need.

Tatiana, you don't deserve to be mistreated by anyone. You deserve love and respect. I urge you to contact Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) in order to talk to someone about what you are dealing with. They are staffed 24/7 with professionally trained counsellors who will listen to you. They are not a reporting agency, although they can help you through the process of reporting if you decide to disclose. And you should disclose; you're too special NOT to. Please get yourself some help. You are not in a position to do this by yourself.

Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

To reply to your question, I do not permit photos on stories pages. If your friend is experiencing child abuse, she needs to talk to someone about it, just like you do about the abuse you're enduring. I've supplied you a number to call; pass it along to your friend Amy.

As for posting her story here, sadly, there is no way for the authorities to trace someone through their story when they post it. I wish this wasn't the case, since there are virtually hundreds of stories on this site that SHOULD be handled by the proper agency.

And Tatiana, I must be upfront about my personal limits on this site. I cannot answer all the questions that are sent to me. I've made an exception in this case, but I won't be able to do so again. There just aren't enough hours in the day for me to answer the hundreds of questions I get every week from my visitors. I hope you understand.

I wish you and your friend all the best.
