Child Abuse Story of Healing and Recovery From D to the C

by Name Undisclosed
(Location Undisclosed)




im not the best writer, but i'll try my best, i was emotionally abused by my stepfather, he would threaten that i had to leave, he would lock me out at night, even on cold winter nights. Around this time i wouldv'e been 12 or 13 and i was still developing and didnt get life entirely yet, so i had little understanding of why i was beeing treated bad. All i knew was i didnt like it, i didnt like feeling scared, or having to change the way i live becuase he cant stand for someone to be different. i eventually started to realize that i cant let him treat me or my mom like this! Tried many times trying to explain to him how he was messed. He never understood but he had grown up to be that way and will never chage or it will take awhile, so i eveutally statred to battle with him not phycally as much there was a few of those battles, but everytime i would come on top, i'd win the battle even if he didnt think so i knew so, i kno i was hurting his feeling like he had done to me. normally thats not how i would try to fix and handle a problem, but thts all i knew how, the only way you could get thru to him!,now im 16 moved out, my mom moved out too, wee are doin alot better, i see my mom smileing again, when for bout 3-4 years shes been feeling miserable. One of the mostthings i didnt hated bout him is he made me and my mom so stressed and irratable tht we didnt get along anymore either. now i apprecaite her dearly, i couldnt live without her!!!! thts my healing story...

Be brave, saty strong and persevere at healing yourself .

There is a wonderful and beautiful human person behind D to the C in your life. Great you had the courage to write and tell your story to Darlene. Her site is helping someone who arrives on it to begin healing from whatever abuse they suffered in their innocent and vunerable years. You are in a safe place with your Mam. Keep loving and helping yourself to let go of those awful memories of emotional abuse. He was not a good Man sadly for you he was ONLY a step-father who treated you wrongly hurting you at the age of 12. You were a strong child to challenge him and tell him he was abusing you. Always believe in yourself. I can, I will, I must because I am SPECIAL and I love me. Your mam will be there for you now too. If possible talk to a counsellor who will put your abuse in perspective for you. Know you are wonderful and beautiful just as you are. build up your self--esteem.
