Were you exposed to physical or psychological violence as a child?

Question

When I was in first grade, my teacher would always beat me, sometimes for no reason, sometimes with a stick. Even at my age, I don't understand why he beat me. When he beat me, I would tell my father, but he would say, "I guess you deserved it." This caused me to become antisocial. Even now, I can't look people in the face because I feel disgusted. Sometimes I can get over it, but sometimes it gets worse. The problem wasn't that I was being abused, it was that I wasn't understood. If even my father doesn't understand me, who will?

My father's mom side beat me almost to death because they hate my grandfather because he was in the military. They called him baby killer and murderer. They were happy he died in Vietnam. He died taking a bullet for his radio man. So when one of my asshole cousins got leukemia and dies I told them to f*** off. Now I'm marked for death. They beat my head in with a baseball bat and threw me on a sidewalk and they all started stomping on my head. They strangled me to unconscious a few times. My grandmother and step grandfather told me constantly to get away from them and that they don't look love me. My cousins all hate me to death. Even my aunt treats me like complete shit. Her kids beat on me and she doesn't care. My dad has punched me multiple times. He throws me into walls a lot. When he gets mad he goes and gets a baseball bat and starts swinging at me. We got into it one Christmas week. He was wrapping presents for his asshole family who treats him like complete crap. I told him to fuck them and forget about them. He grabs me by the shirt and slams me into the wall. I told him to leave me alone. Then he goes into the garage and grabs the baseball bat and breaks my foot with it. My mom tried to step in and he hits my mom with it. One time when I was very little my dad came home from work and I was watching cartoons he goes off on me because I'm watching cartoons. So he picks me up ( I'm maybe 4) opens the door throws outside. It's raining really bad and my dad won't let my mom let me in for hours. Not to mention all the physical abuse in school. I was a wussy kid.

No, or as a teenager, I may have tried to kill the person as I did 60 years ago when, in the Eighth Grade at Manual Arts Class (i. e., shop), I lunged for another lad's throat while carrying an awl after he used the "N" word. Two teachers restrained me from committing the act.

When I was in elementary school, my friend hit me and I told my mom. Then she went to meet the kid’s parents and scolded them. When I was in high school, the principal hit me on the head with a pair of sweatpants. Then I told my parents, and my dad met the principal and asked him to apologize to me.

My parents aren’t fun people, but they are always on my back.

I am sorry you had to experience that and were not listened to by the ones you needed most. No one should have to go through any abuse , especially a child.

I am so blessed to be one of the fortunate ones who did not experience this while so many others did.

I had an older sibling that was cruel and would beat the daylights out of me for entertainment or spite. I used to lock their bedroom door from the outside because the wrath from my parents wasn’t as painful.
