Child Abuse Story of Healing and Recovery From Michelle
by Michelle

A New Way of Life:
From the time I was 5-7 years old, I was abused by my mother. My dad did drugs, and he was in and out of prison many times. My mom drank a lot and took out her anger on me. I remember hiding in my shower, with the door locked, afraid to come out. My mom would hit me with baseball bats, and wire hangers. Sometimes she would through me against the wall. I didn't want to tell anyone about it. I was afraid that they wouldn't believe me, and that if my mom found out, she would hurt me even more.
When I was 7, I was sitting at my desk in school, and my teacher asked me to come to her desk, and then she sent me down to the principal's office. When I got there, there were cops and police sitting down. My mom was put into prison, and I was sent to a foster home.
I love my foster parents. They know what I need. I have been in Therapy, and learning how to face my fears and to know that this is my life, no one can control who I am, and who I want to be.
I am now a senior in high school, and I'm going to college! I can't wait to start a new chapter in my life!
