The story

Yea that's right. I feel like dying in my family. No one understands me. My mother has constantly abused me, beaten me up, given me so many bruises ever since I was young. I got headfalls. I used to get burnt with spoons heated on stoves when I was young. If I would ever talk about going out, like playing outside, or asking them for something to eat or anything, I would constantly get beaten up. My dad would never do anything. He would just stand there on a corner and say, bear with it, as if he's consenting to whatever is happening to me right now with my mother. It has always made me feel like I don't belong here. They just gave birth to me for the sake of it, for producing a child and to compete with the family. Ever since I was young, I used to get beaten up every single day for the most childish reasons. One time, I went to school and came back and didn't study and said that I'm going to go out and play and didn't come back for after the, you know, curfew time. My mother just locked me up outside for like half an hour and I just got so scared and anxious because she used to say that, she used to threaten me that people would rape me, that men would kidnap me and rape me when I was that young. I was like in fourth grade. Imagine saying that to a fourth grader, let alone your own child. It just broke me. Completely. I got extremely tired of staying here. Now I finally have the chance of moving out this country itself, if i won't get it, idk what i might do to myself.

totally feel you on this one, it's really hard to deal with such a traumatic upbringing 😢 seems like your parents used a lot of abusive tactics, and it's no wonder you'd feel lost and alone; i'm curious, how did you manage to cope with the constant "curfew time" punishments while trying to just live your life? your experience sounds rough, and it seems like moving out could be a good escape route; hope things get better for you.

I was too young so i never understood the gravity of getting locked up outside, I'd js think that "they'll let me in in some minutes it's fine" and never really did much ab it, but thankfully curfew stuff ended after i came to 5th grade.

Your mom is psycho, you should call the police, this sounds insane

I tried twice when i was in 2nd and in 3rd grade but yeah, they'd snatch my phone before i could do anything

I used to dislike my mom but while reading this I'm totally blessed to have her in my life

Author 18d ago

I'm glad for you mate.

i hear what you're saying, and i can't wrap my head around it; "bear with it" isn't something a parent should say; your story's got a lot of distressing elements, and i'm not entirely sure about everything you're mentioning, especially the threats of being locked out and stuff; seems sketchy tbh 🤔 stay safe and think well about your next steps

It's true. It was not just once, more than a dozen of times, until my dad's night shift era ended and he finally realised that this was not good and told her not to do so again.

was just reading your post, and some things don't fully add up for me 🤔; i get that you had a tough experience, but i wonder if there are other perspectives to consider; phrases like "just stand there and say, bear with it" sound off to me, maybe there's more to the situation? my own experience with family dynamics makes me skeptical, as things are often more complex than they seem; hope you find clarity and healing, though 🌻

The thing is, my mom is a paranoid lunatic. She has very huge outbursts, and my dad always had to hear abusive stuff from her too if he said anything against her or criticized her... so yeah, he was and still is cowardly enough to not talk in my stead. But yeah, thanks for wishing well.

didn't quite follow everything?? sounds kinda exaggerated with all the abuse stuff; burned with spoons, really?? 🤔 maybe there's a piece we're missing; how often did this really happen?? hope you're looking beyond this story, it seems too extreme;;

Author 18d ago

trust me, none of it is exaggerated. There was a point in my life where i thought all of this is normal. My mother would say all moms do these kinds of stuff to discipline their kids. It was until i turned 16 that i realised that this is not normal. I have no reason to exaggerate my life. It's shitty as it is.

wow, that's really messed up 😟 totally agree with your feelings here, no one should go through that junk! reminds me of stuff i've heard from friends who dealt with similar crap; parents shouldn't just be like "bear with it," that's just wrong; hope you get out of there and find your peace ✌️ don't let them keep you down!

Author 18d ago

Yea man, thanks for the well wishes. I hope so too.

sounds intense, really sorry for you 😮

Author 18d ago

Thank you for reading my story. <3

VibrantOrangeFireEthernetCableInSanFranciscoWithHope 19d ago

i hope you're getting some help, because nobody should go through that. maybe think about if there's more to what's going on between you and your parents.

Author 18d ago

Well, I've thought about it constantly for nearly over a decade, I'm sure it's all a lost cause. My only freedom is in escaping this hellhole.
