Child Abuse Story From Wendy R

by Wendy R
(Location Undisclosed)




When hurt turns to hate: 
My story goes back to 1959. We were a picture perfect family sitting tallest to youngest in all pictures. Before we went to the grandmothers for Christmas we all got a beating with the belt, a reminder not to speak while we were there.

We were forbidden sweets(my dad after however never was) he would make us go in the car and pick up his hot pizza only to grab it out of our hands to eat it in the living room with mom.

His leather belt hit us fast and furiously , my brothers got his first. Years later when my then 50 year old brother took his own life he was living in an institution and hung himself with his bed sheet!!

I talked with his girlfriend she told me he was tormented by my father and thought he was going to find him and kill him. I also found out him and my other brother(also ended his own life at 35) were so scared of dad they HID upstairs with wood to hit him if he tryed to kill them.

Needless to say after all the sexual abuse ,physical abuse,mental abuse and whatever kind could of happened in that house it did . We had no beds blankets, curtains and worst of all no running water or flushing toilets.

I turned into a survivor and tryed to give my brother R-- a voice my mother lost her mind because I kept this all buried she said she hates me,I told her she never deserved me!!

Now that they are both sick I don't want to see them I just want them to go together.

You've earned the anger and hostility you're feeling, of that I have no doubt. What I will also say is that if you continue to hang onto that anger and hostility, it will torment and consume you in much the same way your brothers were tormented and consumed. When hurt turns to hate, turn pain into power. I urge you to seek out some form of counselling or therapy in order to help you deal with what you were forced to endure at the hands of not one, but two extraordinarily sick and twisted parents. When you deal with the horrendous abuse and allow your Self to fully feel what you've been trying to bury for so long, the anger and hostility will let you go. You didn't deserve to be abused by either of them. You certainly deserve help for the fact that you were. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

The Horror
by: Anonymous

Wendy, first of all, my condolences to your brothers because I know what it's like to lose the very people you care about. Second of all, I can't believe that your mom would abandon you and your brothers to the so-called care of that sick, sadistic monster of a father and allow him to beat and berate you guys 24/7...how dare she! That's not discipline; that's just torture. Shame on her for running away from you all the time instead of protecting you from that beast! A mother who chooses such a sick beast over her own precious children is the mother who doesn't deserve to have said children in her life. Oh, and eating pizza without sharing and forcing you guys to watch is just as cruel and appalling because they are helpless bullies who happened to use your amazing ability of cache for their sadistic gratification instead of just simply helping themselves. The path that they chose is inexcusable because they themselves had no respect for you and your rights as human beings and they've proven that just by those nasty injuries that they inflicted upon you guys. They had the mindset that you guys were to be submissive and obedient at all costs. They are really acting like little 3-year-olds trapped in grown-up bodies because not only are they stuck in their own childhood, but they are trapped in their terrible twos as well. Your lives shouldn't have been used as pawns for their immature, sick, sadistic, ignorant misery. Children are gifts to be treasured, not abused. You are not to blame for their sadistic, ignorant behavior; they are to blame because they chose to abuse you. You and your brothers were the children; they were the adults; they had all the power and only misused it over you, so I hope that you're in a safe place now, that you try counselling and that you look into reporting them.
