Story #28

This is my second story to write on here. But this story is different. This has to do with physical abuse. When i was about 6 years of age, my family started having problems. My mom and dad started fighting and just wanted to get divorced. So as anger rose in them, emotions filled me. When i reached the age of 7 not only was i bullied i was starting to be physically abused by my parents. From smacking me around, to slapping me with belts, even attacking me. I would just put up with the torture at home, which was another reason of depression.  around the ages 8-10 the abuse worsened and i started to fear people because of abuse. I didn’t like talking about my parents, so when people would ask me about them, i’d lie and say they we’re sweet. Around the ages 12-14 i started to tell my parents how i felt about them yelling at me and telling them how abusing me had affected me and my siblings. they took it as bull **** and just decided to give it a rest. They soon stopped abusing us. But the verbal abuse stayed, being cussed out, being told i’m hated by my parents is nothing different. some ways around, eventually i started getting closer to my dad and mom. Which was causing them to be nicer to me and not hitting me as much. They can still be rude, and they can still be nice occasionally. I really still wanted to be a close family, so i started to open up with my feelings. Now my family is more collect. but my older sister who is 17 helps me cope with it. I am now 14 and living a basically normal life.

I think it is terrible that you or anyone were physically abused! However, I think it’s great that you finally spoke up against it. It really bums me out when I hear parents do such terrible things to their children when they should do nothing but love and support them. I really hope one day your parents eyes will open up and they will change their ways for good. For now, I hope you think of Let Us Love as a second family to you!
