News of Child Abuse Forum

Okay guys, so I'll try to be brief about this, but please bear with me and I need your help.

I come from a family where basically everyone has been abused and/or is currently an abuser. Everyone had had different ways to cope with it, from turning to various addictions to downright living in denial, to admitting to abuse but never getting help for it.

Now you see, I've had a very rough childhood because ...

Is this normal child behavior?

I am 2 years younger than my brother and I don't remember the exact age, but sometime around 8 or 9 (11-13) for him I remember a day where I was lying in bed and my brother came in and got on the bed and lay on my stomach kind of...and he put his hand on my vagina and rubbed it over my panties. I pretended I was asleep and ...

Right now in Sydney it is 12.45pm Christmas day.

Hope everyone on here, moderators, regulars and visitors have a good day,.. in their own way.

And we all have a good 2015.

(In a small way this has become part of my extended family)

Peace and Goodwill to all..

take care

I spend most of my time here supporting the anti psych forum but the roots of my hatred for abusers comes from surviving the troubled teen industry.

Look what I just found http://troubledteenindustry.com/

i wrote this once but lost it, long story short.
i was abused by my father between the ages of about 6 and 13-14 emotionally, physically and on at least 2 occasions physically up until the point where i attacked him in front of my mother and sister. I didnt see it as abuse at the time but i have recently been doing some soul searching as to why certain events in my life happened ...

im terrified of people. terrified of them. i don't know what to do. i can't be around people at all. i'm not particularly scared of embarassment or anything like that. i'm just scared of people. i had so many scary things happen to me i don't know what to do. i feel like no one truly cares about me. i don't know why i'm scared of people. i don't like them. sometimes i like certain ...

people actually defend my abusers because they "saw a lot" which they didn't. it's a lie. i was the one who saw a lot. i was the one who almost died from abuse several times. the authorities in this country will only care about you if you are blonde and blue little girl or a tall dark and handsome child. those sorts of children dont get abused. i hate my family. i only love my ...

Childhood to me is just nothing but fear, shame, confusion, worry, and numbness. I learn to become numb and stuff down my emotion. I learn to become withdrawn to the outside world because it is not safe, unhappy and unpredictable. My mom physically, emotionally and sexually abuse me since i was a kid. my dad neglect me. he doesn't care about my development. he only care about himself and his other family. he had kids ...

First and foremost i would like to make it crystal clear that all of these thoughts are 100% delusional and I know that myself. My problem is even though I tell myself over and over again that I'm not that person I still struggle with it an it's becoming increasingly bothersome everyday.
I have a 1 year old son who I love very very much. Before I had my son my life was one wasted ...

ADA, Salted and Sceptic (etc)

I don't post a lot, mainly just hang round here, as MBP is very quiet (which is a good thing) but was wondering if we could get a sticky with "Child Abuse (survivor) PTSD "

When I discovered it a few years ago it was like some one lifted a blanket. The difference it has made in my life has been enormous (and that is coming from someone who has ...
