News of Child Abuse Forum

Ok, so divorced for many years. Both mom and dad remarried. I have another post about alienation examples, however, this new info has me simply perplexed!

Brief back story, Dad has a masters degree and his career has him working with children on a reg basis (he is educated in child psychology as part of his work). A nasty custody battle took place years after divorce (only months after his remarriage) where the kids came ...

I can't tell if it's my fault, or theirs, to be honest, I don't care any more. Most of my life, it feels like I've been called worthless, useless, a waste of time, that I'm the problem and I should go kill myself because nobody wants me to exist. As soon as I can, I don't want to even remember that they exist anymore. I don't know if this is possible, seeing as I'm 18 ...

So, I'm 17 years old right now, and basically all my life I've gone through things and have seen things my mother has done that might be abuse? I'm sorry if it seems like I'm rambling here.

Recently, my mom has kicked my 18-year-old brother and his girlfriend out of the house after a major fight, when he was confronting her about what she's done, like her abusing pain medication when we were younger (I'm ...

When a little girl from an economically disadvantaged home is extremely friendly, is it a personality trait or the sign of neglect at home?

I am relatively new to parenthood and I have noticed a phenomena I was curious about. I have noticed little girls at the playground who seem very desperate for attention. They're usually 6-10yo and quite cute and charming. However, they are very pushy for my attention and seek it through my ...

Some background:
I live with my grandfather, uncle, and grandfather's long term girlfriend (same age, they just agreed not to marry). It has been this way since about 2005 or 2007. I'm 16. My Father has recently gone to jail (in there till July 2015) for selling pot to minors, having hash, and for a previous charge of verbal child abuse via text against my little sister. My sister is now with a friend of ...

my father recently passed away from a heart condition. He was in his 80s and had been ill. I visited while he was ill and I feel like we had pretty much made peace. But, then I went to his memorial. People were going on about what a great man he had been. They want stories to remember childhood memories. I just can't. I wrote one memory that I had that was good. I read ...

Im searching for something like that, someone can suggest one to me?

I'm currently in treatment for an eating disorder. Day treatment, so I get up at 5:30 AM every morning, catch a bus for an hour and a half, and go sit in a hospital program all day, catch the bus home, get home at 8:30 PM, go to bed, do the same the next day. I get weekends off. Breakfasts are my own. I was at a low weight when I started, but I'm on ...
