Why do my parents abuse me?
I am a 13 year old girl and my parents abuse me (mentaly and phisicaly). They have abused me since i was as little as 4 years old. When i was about 3 or 4 years old i heard my dad call my mum by her first name so i thought it was ok to call her it and i did then my dad began smacking me as hard as he could in the face and i was crying my eyes out and had big red marks on my face. They meantaly abuse me too, they call me names like sl*t, bi**h and st***id. They always say shut up or else you will be taked away, your paraniod and many more. I have cried myself to sleep some nights because of them and i even hide in my room from them. I didn't even know that what they were doing was wrong untill i was 10. I told my parents it was wrong and they just shouted at me. I am a really smart girl i'm in all the highest groups in everything at school and i always behaive and i have never gotten detention or suspension, so why do my parents do this to me?
What should an adult victim of child sex abuse do to help with guilt feelings?
But, he is an older sibling, with wife, kids, grandkids and other siblings. He is in middle 60's now as well as myself. Now that our parents are long gone, they would not be hurt by the truth. All I want is for him to admit his wrongdoings to me at some point in time. I have no contact with him at all. Family broke up after last parent passed on. It just irks me that he is thought of as a wonderful person, even by my own grown up child. In everyone's eyes, he knows all, and can do no wrong. An arrogant, sneaky, big mouth sly S.O.B, who my mother adored as her first born. I just could never say anything, as she would never would have believed me. The family thinks "I" am the bad one because of settlements when my mom died. When do I get my justice? I could NEVER turn him into authorities, as I never thought of this as something like that. It was just a family secret with me. So, maybe I should just finally let go. I had, but situations resurface it with anger again!
