Child Abuse Story From Ty
by Ty
(Alabama, USA)
There's a lot that happened and half of it I don't remember, so unlike the other stories, I can't tell an actual story. It's more of examples and little bits of abuse and stuff that have happened to me in the past.
I'm 13, and since I was real little, probably since I was born, I was sexually, physically, and emotionally abused, along with medically neglected.
First things first, I'm a dwarf. I'm only about 3 feet tall. I have a twin bro and he's average sized, so you can see how I became the target. My bro was abused as well but not as bad, not nearly as bad. I also have a number of medical problems, diabetes, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), epilepsy, and hemophilia.
My first memories are my parents pretty much insulting me. They always told me: "You're not worth the air you breath" or "You're lower than dirt" or "You're not even considered human" and worst of all and most common, "midget" along with "munchkin" and "oompa loompa". I was never one to take something sitting down, so I'd talk back as soon as I could talk. I think that's when they started to sexually abuse me, to get power over me. If my mom was on her period or one of them wasn't in the mood: "Oh, I'll just get Ty" and I'd be raped or be subjected to oral sex or something. Or if we were low on money, some hooker would pay to have sex with me and my parents would hold me down. But once again I'd fight back. So my parents started beating me, and my brother. My dad would heat up a chain and whip it across my back. I'd retaliate by heating up the oven and throwing fire crackers into it. I nearly blew up the kitchen several times.
My parents would beat us with sticks and chains, just out of anger, and I'd just fight back. It was an ongoing war. Probably not the smartest plan, but still, better than nothing. The sad thing is my parents weren't addicted to anything, nor did they have any mental illness, they were just evil.
My parents never got stuff for my medical problems, I'd have 20 seizures a day, and my blood sugar was almost always over 200. Sometimes my neighbor who had diabetes would give me some insulin if I was feeling funky. I went into a diabetic coma twice. And I'd bleed for weeks 'cause of my hemophilia. School became my refuge. I loved going to school.
Finally it all came to an end when I was 9, in a weird and painful way. My dad had hired a hooker once again, but when I got angry and refused, he got angry. He got out a plank of wood 3 times my size a hit me. I was too beat up, so I let the hooker do what she wanted. Some oral sex and whatnot. My dad and mom started insulting me, saying I was worthless and weak and disrespectful. When they left later that day I turned on the stove and put a pot on filled with gun powder. Well that burned and exploded. Nearly once again blew up the kitchen. My parents came home and blew up. My dad took out the blow torch. I was introduced to the hot end of it. I was burned on the right side of my face, neck, shoulder, most of my chest, right arm, and lower abdomen. My bro was fed up. He called the cops. They got to my house and put my parents in cuffs. Even though I was taken away in a stretcher, it had to be the happiest day of my life.
Now I live in the best place in the world. I live in a home for abused and neglected kids. There's about 150 of us here, but it's a home environment home. I'm getting over my anger problems that I've had from my parents calling me names. So life is looking up. I came in with hatred and anger in my eyes. Not anymore.
