News of Child Abuse Forum

I've had a few days of hard times, but I'm hanging in there. Recently, it was explained to me about 'shame' in how I feel about myself. I feel ashamed of myself in how I seem to criticize myself in just about everything. I look for kind people and I don't get that in many places. So it seems like I need to remind myself to be the first person to look to, to be ...

I am an adult and I am very mature 99% of the time but at times (usually when someone hurts me emotionally or even physically) my T and even my mom says that I start acting like a hurt child. I start whining about things that happened all those years ago and sometimes act like it is still happening. I have been in to see my T so many times complaining about things that happened ...

Last night my wife and I had an argument. It started between her and my stubborn son and when I quietly told him to simply leave it her paranoia kicked in and she thought I had taken sides. This brought out something I had only ever seen in my mother and as it was such a sudden shock I simply reacted. Luckily nothing physical happened but much relationship damage was done. Not sure how it ...

Hello everyone, I'm new to talking about this whole topic so please bear with me. I just turned 20 recently, so I know I dont count as a child anymore, but this has gone on for what I feels like forever.

I liked to think my mother and I had a good relationship. I'm her only daughter, right after a miscarriage she had, and after that she was never able to have anymore children. I ...

My dear mother in law who I never thought was too perceptive confided in my wife before she passed on, that I never seemed to be happy.

I have the usual PTSD and low trust but have been successful in life without burning or using others. I am proud of that.

After talking with some others survivors who agreed with my mother-in-laws summation I have been giving it thought.

I am not unhappy. I never ...

When I was younger my mom used to make fun of myOcd. Nothing i ever did was good for her and she used to say rude things to me. I would get mad and she would say i couldnt take constructive critism. She made me and my sister clean obsessively. She made fun of my developing body on several occasions. She told my step dad not to like me. He then began treating me like ...

I am 19 now and technically no longer a child but this question has plagued me for years. I can't tell at all whether my mother is indeed abusive or whether I am amplifying some small issues.

When I was a child, my mother was physically abusive. This is something that I am sure of. A bad grade could mean a beating. My grades in German (a language I alwyas struggled with) would often lead ...

My parents are not like typical abusive parents. Granted, they do hit me and constantly remind me that they think I am less of a person but they give me their money for extra curricular activities and obsess over my grades. When I was younger, they used to constantly hit me with a wooden spoon if my grades did not meet their requirements of straight A's, which often did not happen as I was being ...

Hey there, new to this forum.

A couple of years ago I cut my mom off because of some inappropriate drunken behavior. Nothing physical, but she cornered me and made me talk about the sexual abuse my step dad inflicted on me and my siblings. All on Thanksgiving! Good lord. I had tried to say no many, many times and she refused to drop it and brought me into a room where no one else ...

I realised that I had an account here and that I could come and ask for help somewhere where people won't be judging me like the rest of the world has been doing till date.

It's been a hard life for me since the start. I didn't know that my life would turn out like this. I had never even imagined.
I was three when my parents and my eight year old elder brother passed ...
