I Am Abused Mentally

I grew up in an abusive household and other kids also started abusing me because I had harsh reactions. All I ever wanted was a bit of peace for myself. And I still didn't get it. My family still abuses me, even though I keep telling them they're using a wrong approach and what they are doing is emotional abuse (though they did beat me as a child)...Recently, it slip through my lips ''I should've called social workers while I still could'' (thinking as a kid) and my dad was like ''why? you're having it better than most of the kids''. Not for a second did they doubt themselves...

I'm sorry you had to go through that. Being a child shouldn't have to hurt.

@BlueVeins have*
I thought it gets better through age and that the worst is gone...

*hugs* I am so very sorry that happened to you :( My mother, older brothers, and mother's side of my family were my abusers and bullies, I know exactly what you are going through.

@Melpomene Which country does such a law exist in? No child should be forced to take care of their parents if that was their only reason for having them and are abusive to their kids while raising them.

@NativeOregonian This is one of the reasons I prefer not to say where I'm from, we've got some really bad laws.
We'd have like 5 people if there weren't people that are getting married because they reached their 30s and "it's time to get a child, to have someone to take care of us when we're old". I can't prove I was abused and it's mostly emotional abuse. Hell, my parents are well educated and they can't see when they are saying something hurtful, even when I tell them "this is hurting me". They have to see me crying or bleeding or something which will indicate something's (physically) wrong with me. And I'm not the only one. Plenty of other people, kids, are abused and parents don't realise they are abusing a child because their "parents did so too and what's wrong with us?" and when you try to object they call you disrespectful

@Melpomene That isn't them being educated, that is them being psychotically pathological, they see only what they wish to see.

Oh I'm really sorry for all that you bear you have to make yourself strong so that you fight for yourself and other kids

@SW-User Easier said than done. Have you ever tried to fight your abusers? They know your weaknesses and will point them out. Most efficient ways to get rid of them is to exclude them from your life...
SW-User
@Melpomene yes I know how it is like and it is also true easier to say but difficult to fight or follow but we have to do that

@SW-User Not everyone is able to, too many barriers in their way prevents them, or makes them feel that way. In some cases it is literally true, when they try to escape their abusers hunt them down, or threatened that will happen, so they feel powerless to escape.

Please be strong and NEVER doubt yourself!!! My parents were awful and very abusive too. Don't let them … rob you of your power and life.
Melpomene · 26-30, F
@Echoing How did you cope with that?
Echoing · 61-69, F
@Melpomene I did not do well! I was a total mess for YEARS!!! It took me till recently to find myself (I'm 63 yrs old now) with a lot of help from my husband and his precious love. Do not allow them to belittle you or at least do not believe they are telling the truth. Be good to yourself!!! Blessings to you!! 🌹

@Echoing How can a person not believe to someone who taught them everything?
I'm glad you found yourself 🌹

I really can't tell you how much I can relate to this...

I'm glad that you see that it isn't you :)
You're very touchingly sweet, even after all that. That's a strength/resilience I hope you don't lose

Hmm... Why they abuse you?
Abusing a girl in family is very wrong activity!
AngelKrish · 26-30, M
@Melpomene of course i am asking!
Melpomene · 26-30, F
@AngelKrish ...because I'm a girl apparently.
AngelKrish · 26-30, M
@Melpomene awwww....I am sad.
