Me versus Abuse
Born 2000, M, from California, United States.png)
This is the most serious story i'm ever gonna write here for your eyes only. Abuse is not a joke in any way, it's a horrible word. I am not being abused anymore, this is all in the past. I'm telling you reader this because i'm hoping that you won't judge me badly and you'll be understanding. Thank you.
On April 1st 2010, My own mother abused me. She wasn't on drugs, she wasn't drunk, she was just angry at me for some reason i can't remember because it happened a while ago, you know? I have my own prosthetic legs i still walk with that are made of plastic. But on that day she got so angry that she picked up one of my prosthetic legs and beat me on the head with it, i was terrified and my head hurt a lot. It felt like my skull was gonna crack, i had a big bump on my head after that.
I went to my elementary school and told the principal about it and she asks me what happened and since i couldn't speak right, i wrote down and told her what had happened. She then said that she was gonna get my mother some help so she called the cops on my mom. Now my mom is REALLY good at lying, she can get away with lying because she just sounds so convincing when she tells one of her lies. Then the cops took me away from her and they put me into a place called a safe house where i guess it was a place where kids come to be safe but i only stayed the night there and i went back home to my mom the next day.
Me and my mom had to go to court and talk about the abuse and all that. She told me to lie to the person that's gonna question me in court about the abuse and i really didn't want to lie but i don't think i could really say anything about it in front of my mom because i was terrified. She didn't want to go to jail which is why she told me to lie to whoever's gonna question me in the court but i really think she does deserve jail time because her abusing me is just NOT OK AT ALL. So then i told this guy who actually was a detective that i made it all up and it never really happened and then the judge heard what i said too so then the case was closed and my mother never went to jail at all. I was really mad on the ride home because of her god dam convincing lies and her having to make me lie to a DETECTIVE. it just all really sucked and i never want to go through that abuse ever again.
I mean i'm still living with my mother today and she doesn't really hurt me that much anymore. She calls me bad names though and yells at me but she never really hurts me. I really just think she should quit lying because one day her lies might get her into trouble and she'll have to be punished but so far, that hasn't happened yet. But every time she calls me a bad name or talks bad about me whether it's a joke or not, it's still not cool. Now sometimes when i tell her i love her she just says yeah whatever or just ignores me. I feel depressed some days and sometimes i think about suicide but wouldn't actually do it unless it was painless.
This is one of the reasons why i love going to my dad's house on the weekends, to take a break from my mom's craziness and just be able to relax and have a good time with my dad.
Well, i hope you guys liked this story or maybe didn't like it but still read it anyways. Once again, Abuse is not a good thing at all. Abuse is a lot like bullying but it feels like your forced into a life or death situation sometimes. But thats just my thought. Abuse can happen to anyone and i really hope other people who've been abused by their family members tell their story too and not to just hide it deep inside.
I am brave enough to tell you this story, mostly because i'm pretty sure my mom won't find out about this story.
The end. :(

12/09/2019Hey Zac, that sounds like a really scary situation to be in. Didn't you mention a while back that you were going to go live with your dad? Is that still the plan? Have you told him about what happened?

12/09/2019You are so right. Abuse is never okay not ever.
Sorry you have to go through this. I do not like your mother. I don’t like anyone who lays a hand on anyone. To many people think this is okay.
You should not have lied to the police but I can totally see why you did.
Can you not go and live with your dad permanently. I don’t like to think of you being abused.
Take care.

12/10/2019Yeah GaIl, i'll be living with my dad next month in January. It just was really bad with my mom, she has a big anger problem and i think the reason my mom and dad divorced is because of her. She left my dad i don't know why and my dad left her because he basically told me he couldn't handle her dramatic angry personality.
Now my dad lives in a big house and he's alone in the house on the weekdays but the weekends i'm with him most of the time. My dad really is a nice guy.
