Child Abuse Story of Healing and Recovery From Lisa
by Lisa
(Location Undisclosed)
I am 26 years of age and I am in the process of healing from the child abuse that I suffered. I went through physical, emotional and sexual abuse from my family. My mum never really loved me. I was tortured quite badly. I could deal with it then, but now it's taking effect on me.
I was hit with a belt buckle, hot cups of tea thrown over me, hot dinners thrown down me, locked in cupboards, made to sleep in the same sheets that I had wet the night before, and received hits and punches left, right and centre. I was told how I was a mistake, that she wished I had died when I had an accident and was in hospital;, I was nothing to her! I never received love or affection. In fact, the last time I remember a cuddle from her that meant a lot was when I had the accident and my heart stopped beating while I was in her arms.
During this time, at the age of 11, my sister's boyfriend started sexually abusing me. He touched me and inserted his fingers internally. He would grab me from behind and cover my mouth whilst doing so. He would visit me in the night and touch me, and when he got me alone he would make me do things to him. Whilst this happened, my mum and both my sisters were aware of this and didn't do anything to stop it or report it.
I could go on forever with my story, but the long and short of it is that I have come this far and eventually saw that I needed help. I have started my counselling sessions, and yes, it is hard to talk about all the nasty things that have happened to me as a child, but it is part of healing. Please, if you are reading this and thinking you are not ready, I promise, we are never ready...it's you that has to make the first step to recovery!!
