Child Abuse Story of Healing and Recovery from Kym

I don't know where to begin with my story. I guess from the beginning. I grew up with my mother. She was sexually abused as a child. I was around 6 or 7 when my mother forced me to give her oral sex. Afterward she took me in the bathroom and brushed my teeth really hard and she told me if I ever told anyone I would get the worst killing of my life. Which in her terms that meant severe beating. I was use to getting beat. Surprisingly I got to a point where they didn't bother me. But that night...that night of performing oral sex on my mother stayed in my mind for years. I was afraid to tell anyone. I hated her. I finally had the heart to tell someone when I was 15 years old. I told my sister (she wasn't raised with me) and we cried together. I had cried many times before but this cry was different. It was a let go...it was a water balloon that had been waiting to spring a leak. And a heavy leak it did.
I left my mother's house when I was 17. I had to. You want to know why? I became a mother myself. I had a daughter. Yeah a DAUGHTER! Even though my mother said I was going to stay there and sign my baby over to her I knew that I would never allow the same thing to happen to my baby girl.
I'm 33 years old now. My daughter is 16. To this day she has never slept over her grandmother's house. I'm not a perfect parent. But I found peace in my children (I have a 7 yr old son too). I am still healing. I still hurt. I talk to my mother but it's not a mother daughter relationship as it should. My daughter on the other hand posted a message on her personal page of the internet and guess what it said..."My mother is my best friend." Now that's the best healing I believe I could ever get. :)
