Child Abuse Story of Healing and Recovery From Hannah

by Hannah
(Tennessee, USA)




I tried not to think about what happened.I just tried to leave it behind,but i did go to therapy and i have counseling.I have great supportive friends.I also made a journal of everything my "mother" did to me and kept it.So anytime i want to blame myself i can look in that journal and know that it was not my fault.After 12 years of complete and utter abuse this is what i did i am still healing.It's only been 7 months since my "mother" kicked me out of the apartment we were living in.The biggest thing i am happy for is the fact that my new mother and sister have helped through this.They have taken me in and decided to adopt me this month.I am so happy and can't wait.I am still going through my healing approach but i hope i have helped you.

Sincerely,
Hannah

I'm delighted that you are now in a safe and loving home. You most definitely deserve that in your life. I also commend you for journalizing what your mother did to you and using it to ensure that you always realize you were not to blame. I will also suggest that when you do write in your journal (if you are still writing in it, that is) to remember to put good things in there too. Otherwise it's too easy to focus only on the negative and not the positive in your life. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.
