Child Abuse Story of Healing and Recovery From Jennie C
by Jennie C
I am 16 years old and lived in a house where I was beaten at least three times a week for 14 years. Until two years ago I lived with my mother, who beat me. I would come home from school and try my best to hide from her. Almost everyday that my dad was working; she would come and beat me. She has broken my finger,and when we went to the hospital no one would report her. On several occasions she would end up beating me until i passed out. She was eventually reported to DHS, but unfortunately they didn't find anything to accuse her of. She was a police officer for nine years so people don't believe that she would ever be capable of doing anything like that. The abuse that I suffered has left me with several physical and mental scars. She never physically touched my little brother, but is mentally scarred also from witnessing her beating me. My family has been in court fighting against her for the past two years. We have finally gotten visitation with her limited to three hours supervised visitation a week. Since I have moved out, I have found a mother figure, and have become very founded in the bible. I have learned that no matter what happens GOD is always there. People don't realize that the children that go through this don't just have physical hurt, but we have to grow up without a parent(s). What i would suggest for others that have gone through a similar situation is: find a parental figure that will always be there for you, and find a good church fellowship.
