by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

There is a innate need in children to have the love of their mothers, and therefore, children will reach out to their mothers for a very long time, even when severe abuse is present. Don't beat yourself up for that. You wanted what every child wants: a mother who loves her. "Want" and "love" your Self every bit as much as you would love and want the others who were rejected and had to endure what you've endured, Carmen. Give your Self what you never got from your mother and stepfather. Create the opportunities that were not afforded you as a child. As a child you had no power; as an adult you have that power. Take back the power they stole from you. Please consider some form of counselling in order to help you deal with the effects of coming from such an abusive environment, and for the betrayal and abandonment you feel from your mother. You didn't deserve to be mistreated. You do deserve help for the fact that you were. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

Such uncontrolled sadism
by: Anonymous

Carmen, I can't believe that your "mom" would abandon you to the so-called care of that sick monster of a man and allow him to beat and berate you 24/7...how dare she! Shame on her for running away from you all the time instead of protecting you from that sick brute! I am just as disgusted by her apathy towards you as well as her reaction towards you reaching out to her for help; I hate women who choose men over their own children because children should always come first. If that ignorant brute of a man didn't want to be there, then he should've had the courage to give you up for adoption instead of sadistically abusing you. The path that he and your uncaring mom chose was and still is inexcusable. You are not to blame for their sadistic, ignorant behavior; they are to blame because, remember, abusers always choose to abuse. You were the child; they were the adults; they had all the power and only misused it over you. I really hope that you are in a safe place now and that you will try counselling.
