I Was Abused By My Family

It was mainly by my older sisters. They hated me. And when my parents got divorced they blamed me for it. And when I said I wanted to live with dad they scream that I don't get to choose who I live with. After that things just got worse and worse. Verbal abuse turned into physical abuse. And no matter what happened mum never believed me they were always the good girls. Even after they pushed me down the stairs and put me in hospital. It was always my fault. And after dad tried to gain custody of me and lost the court case mum sent me to a boarding school just to spite him.

But when I was 16 I lost it. While mum was out, I told them what I thought of them and that I was leaving. Before I could even get to my room they attacked me leaving me with a broken nose and a black eye. But I retaliated knocking out my oldest sister but the other manage to get behind me and start kicking me to the ground. After she thought I couldn't move she checked on her sister and I knocked her out. As quickly as possible I packed up some clothes and some money and got on a train to Bristol to escape them.
