News of Child Abuse Forum

A local online news source was doing something on Child abuse and they got in touch. I sent them a synopsis first, with obvious questions and answers, like: "why did you not run away ?" It cuts down the early questions and lets them draw their focus.

It was very interesting, had some expected consequences (first nightmare in a year and a half - they have morphed and although troubling they do not terrify like ...

my mom called me ugly when i was little i think she did it to hurt me what should i do ?

I believe it is possible, but what do the rest of you think? Often the things I read about abuse is that it is intentional, maybe even premeditated. And while I definitely agree that there are a lot of abusers that know what they are doing and do it on purpose to control others, I also think there are many abusers who aren't aware that what they are doing is considered abuse. Maybe they do ...

I'm not sure whether this is a normal thing or not, but just in case, I wanted to include a trigger warning because I don't want to upset anyone if this is abusive. Also, I may end up deleting this before the time to do so runs out so if it vanishes that's why.

I don't want to be graphic about this at all because it does gross me out a bit. Basically, I've had ...

Can be tough for a lot of us as it can bring back painful memories or force us to play happy families with our abusers and enablers, but to all of us here, I hope you get through it okay, I hope there is something special you can enjoy and let's all hope for a better new year.

This has been on my mind for a while since I recently found a picture of my former stepfather on the internet. My mother divorced my father (a wonderful man) when I was four. She quickly remarried my first stepfather. They argued all the time and divorced after 3 years. Step #2 was nice to us kids but was physically abusive to my mother. After the divorce, my mother married stepdad #3 when I was ...

Lyrics from a song I have just plagiarized however as some of you know my little obsession is "child abuse Cushings syndrome -- yes it does exist - just look at me from crying out loud, human bodies don't look like mine without a reason.

Okay got that off my chest - now for the laughs ..

This is a quote from a scientific study of children with Cushings Syndrome, which is actually very rare. ...

Hi there, I recently joined the forum. I've had some experiences of abuse at a young age. I was just looking through some of the threads and noticed that a lot of the posts were like a year or so old with no replies or replies after prolonged periods of time. It just made me sad that people were reaching out and no one was hearing them (or of they were they werent being acknowledged). ...

I blacked out my abuse for a very long time but had nightmares to remind me it happened. It was only wen I accepted it happened n went to police that I actually started to come to terms with it. Anyone else been thought the same thing?
