I’m only a child…. Do I deserve this?

I’ve tried to tell my mother about the abuse i’ve suffered for years but she only tells me to shut up and stop being stupid. So many times she’s seen it firsthand from my grandmother to me, but she tells me that I deserve it anyway. I’m not brave enough to tell anyone and when people ask me where I get some bruises, I tell them it was from roughhousing at dancing school. When I see all my scars all over me, I can remember every time she hurt me. She has tried to kill me a couple times, cutting a vein on my hand with a piece of glass, or when she would hold my head under the water until I stopped screaming. I have nobody to turn to. I wish I had the courage to tell someone that will actually believe me.

    You need to tell a guidance counselor at your school or the police. They will most likely take you out of the home…you need to let them know your life is in danger…and that you need a safe place to stay….

    It’s not your fault and no matter what you think or whatever the reason is, you’re mom is not doing her duty in protecting you. She’s wrong and you need to tell someone, anyone. Tell an older relative you can trust or a teacher, friends parent, or anybody at all because this needs to stop. Do whatever you can because this is not right and you don’t deserve it.

    Best of luck

    You’re on the verge of being old enough to fight back to your piece of shit grandma.

    If I were you, I’d give her a piece of what she’s done to you.

    Don’t go easy on her. It’s your turn.

    I’d make her suffer.

    Report what’s going on. Get out of there, there’s nothing you need to stay for.

    You absolutely do not deserve this. I personally think you should talk to a friend and their parents about this. Then when you are away from your Mother call Kids Help Phone. I think its best if you get foster parents. No human being deserves to live with such a horrid mother. I’ve heard of Fathers absuing there families and the families get sent away from the Father. But a Mother? I can’t believe it. So definitley you do not deserve this, and talk to your friends parents and call Kids Help Phone. Hope this helps.
