| I am really happy that DE has started a forum against child abuse. Like a lot of the stories, my mom divorced and then married my stepfather. They had my little brother, who I am very protective of. When I was 7 or 8, my brother, who was 3 or 4 at the time, were in another room playing while my stepfather watched a football game. We heard a song coming from the tv, and we started singing along, not knowing it was the opposing teams song. My stepfather got up and chased my brother and I into the kitchen. I pushed my brother out the door and told him to keep that door shut no matter what happened. My stepfather then came into the kitchen and proceeded to strangle me while my brother looked through the window. Ever since that day, he has strangled me 5 times, 3 times in public; hit me; thrown me up stairs by the back of my arms; dragged me down a hallway by my neck; dragged me through the house by my hair; and most of the times in front of my mother, who has never done anything to stop it. Besides the physical abuse, he has verbally abused me by calling me ugly, stupid, fat, and because of this I am extremely self-concious about my looks. Now, I just found out tonight my brother almost had to go through something that I've been through. I vowed to myself I would never let this happen to my brother, let alone anyone I know or see it happening to. It's a hard situation because at times you want to get away, but it's like you're trapped. I have to thank everyone on this forum that is supporting D.A.C.A. |

Idiosyncratic_Chaos I am so sorry to hear about your situation. I was in a situation not very different from yours when I was younger. The only way it ended was that I was sent to the principal of my school due to burns on my hands from the abuse. Please for your safety and your brothers TELL SOME ONE. I cannot stress this enough. It is clear that your mother for one reason or another is unable to help you or stop this. Now I am not saying she is a bad person. Far from it, I am sure that there is some reason that she feels that she can't do anything. However this situation is dangerous for you and your little brother. Please, please go to a teacher, friends parent, policeman/women, any one that you trust. Let them know what is going on,. In time this sort of thing gets worse not better. Some one could end up dead or harmed in such a way mentally or physically that they will not recover. I had a lot of mental healing to do after I myself go out of that situation and it took a very long time. Had I not gotten out when I did some one could have died or I would have done something at a very young age that would have messed me up for life. I have since taken training as a domestic abuse and sexual assault crisis councilor. This was before I joined the Navy. Now I have worked with many women in this type of situation and its not going to be easy but you must speak up. I don’t want to see anything more happen to you than you have already been through. Please for every one involved tell some one so that you can get help.
Blessings to you and your family,
~LoneNights~ |

| I feel that I am safer now that I have moved out of that house and in with my grandmother. I have had to do a lot of mental healing though. I have gone to therapy because his verbal and physical abuse started to take a toll on my self esteem to the point where I wanted to end my life. I'm over that now, if you can ever really say you're over it. Although I was able to help myself, I am worried about my brother. Today my step father came home and started up an arguement with my mom which escalated to me yelling at him (I was over visiting when he came home) and then him yelling at my brother while his girlfriend was over. My brother and his girlfriend got into my car and we drove away, knowing that he would never do anything to my mom (which he didn't.) Many people that I know, know the situation that I am in, it's just that the neighborhood keeps these things a secret. It's our suburban secret. Our town is "perfect" so no one would do such a thing. There are rarely domestic abuse cases from around here because no one does anything about them. It's truly sad and at the same time scarey. Now that I'm out of the house, I'm just praying that he doesn't turn his abuse towards my mom or brother. I'm also hoping that once I get an income to help pay for college, I can start volunteering at the women's shelter for the abused women in our area that actually do something about the situation that they were in. |

| I'm glad you were able to move out, Idiosyncratic_Chaos. Although I know you and your brother have had to live through so much already. I agree, D.A.C.A is wonderful. I hope you can have more peace in your life. I know how stressful and painful child abuse can be, even years after you are away from it. I wish you and your brother the best. |
