So he would hold me down on the bed while I was physically abused [edited by moderator]. Knowing full well that he done it. He done it all my life.
always lying about me. I was known to be the liar of the house just because of him. I was raped. I was not believed about anything. So in the end I just said I lied.. Then I was punished. I went to school had to come straight home from the bus. Shut the gate & don’t go out of it for 3 months.
Then as I was growing up he threw me on the floor but I was saved someone came thru the door. ‘I’m gonna tell mum on you”
She won’t believe you
He was correct.
He was maybe the worst person(there was a heap) in my life.
Fancy having to grow up with a brother like that
My father said to the person interviewing me get the truth out of her anyway you can
So I was physically abused. That should not be allowed. I was a child. ‘The story did not change.
Everywhere I went when I was growing up abuse, abuse, I did not have to go far. I lived with it daily just by being born a girl in that family.
My father said to my mother. Don’t show them any Emotion I want them to grow up TOUGH. No love, nothing. No one to turn to for help as no one would believe me
Sorry if I have said too much. Just telling the truth
Its no wonder I am a recluse aye???
It’s just a shame the Government wasn’t in back then to protect kids. Because that’s what I needed
Not sure what I’m allowed to write on here
Recovery Club…..
Well I believe that’s what I’m starting this week.
Bit excited
50 mins first up.
Not sure that will be long enough to get all the animals out of my head in 1 session. But will see how I go.
Hi @cdtofi thank you for sharing some of your story with us. Just letting you know I have edited your post and added a TW to be in line with the guidelines - let us know if you have any questions about this!
You have not said 'too much' - in fact, when it comes to abuse I think it is important for us to be able to share our story - as so many would shut us down for speaking about things that make them 'uncomfortable'. The guidelines just ask that we don't share any graphic details such as descriptions of violence, or SH/suicide methods. So again I say thank you for sharing!
Recovery Club is awesome, would love to hear about your experiences as you go!
