Child Abuse Story of Healing and Recovery From Michelle1

by Michelle
(England)

I am 17. I grew up in a very abusive home, physical and mental. It takes a long time to come to terms with something like this and you can never really forget it. You just have to learn to deal with it as best you can. It is so easy to turn to alcohol and drugs to help you forget your past, but it doesn't work. There is so much help out there available. It's just having the courage to get it.
