Family & Friends

Have you ever suffered abuse at the hands of a parent?

I have. A lot. I did some things i'm not proud of as a result. Some of you know me, or rather know my writing style, and those that do, already know what my mother did to me as a child.

From an early age i think i was 7 maybe 8, my mom was heavy into drugs and well selling her body. It seemed like everything i did would result in her yelling at me. It got to a point where i would just all together stop listening to her, and i spent more time with my grandparents as a result. Eventually my mom found a man she wanted to be with (she never did things out of love, always out of obtaining resources, and this is why i think i have such a low opinion of a lot of women). When we moved, i told her "this is not going to end well" and she slapped me. She literally slapped me.

From then on, any time i made her angry, it wasn't just yelling, it was yelling in combination with beating. Eventually it got bad enough that i was getting marks left on me, and my grandparents noticed. When they reported it to CPS, due to the relationship, them being grandparents, CPS literally told them "short of your grandson dying, there is nothing we can do".

One night (this is the part im not proud of), when i was 11 or 12, my mom ordered me to my room. My room has a window and it was open. i went to close my door, and it accidentally slammed. Moments later my mom comes charging in screaming at me, She threw me on my bed, Started beating me bad enough that im seeing stars. I finally got my feet under her, and pushed her off of me hard. She hit the wall across from the bed, and i stood up. She drew back as if to hit me. I was faster, i hit her as hard as i could, i can still remember what i felt, It was like punching a bag of pretzels, I broke her jaw, and said "If you ever touch me again, your life ends now get the fuck out of my room". She left. Unfortunately This left her boyfriend opportunity to hit me in her stead, and it got worse. Then my grandparents kidnapped me.

After my grandparents kidnapped me i was permitted to tell my side of the story and my grandparents were granted emergency full custody. From there my mom lied about my grand parents, and i ended up in states custody and foster care. That story is why i haven't spoken to my mother since i was 16. And i will never speak to her again. She will never know if she has grandchildren, and will never meet my wife. Its also why im afraid to have children.
