Hey everyone.

My name is Aimee, I'm 17.

I'm new here, but I'm certainly not new to the traumas & distress of abuse, neglect & bullying.

Quite a lot of emotional, mental, verbal & physical abuse & neglect has gone on in my life, from the majority of my family members, for as long as I can remember...


My biological father abused, neglected & came in & out of my life as he pleased.
He refused to return me home after he was told by my mother that it was only for a few days when I was about 9 years old, & he used me as a weapon against my mother.
I said some pretty awful things(it's in the court papers), & I was very hostile & confused, I don't remember clearly what happened, it's fragmented, & I don't want to lie, so I'll leave it at that.
I was returned home by order of the court 2 and a half weeks later.
I have overdosed multiple times & injured myself multiple times because of him.
I haven't seen him since 06.
I took a huge step & I told him I want nothing to do with him & for him to stay out of my life.
He is not a father to me, in the slightest, & I'm glad I stood up to him.
He can play his mind games & take his abuse & neglect away from me.
I'm done with it, & I'm done with him.
The memories are still distressing, however, & the damage has affected me, & my life quite severely.


My mother is an alcoholic, & I do not know her without alcohol.
She neglects me, & in the past, has physically abused me, that has stopped now, & she on & off abuses me & she favorites my elder sister, who is 19, & this isn't coming from jealousy, she truly does & it makes me extremely upset & feel very left out, & the black sheep of the family, & also the scapegoat.
Occasionally, there are days where she can be okay... but it doesn't last long, & it's not enough.
The memories of what she has done to me, & continues to do to me, stick with me & they are, as all of my bad memories are, distressful.


Now, onto my sister.
She, in my opinion, fits the profile of a narcissistic, she has been absolutely vile to me, & she has physically abused me, as well as emotionally, verbally, & mentally.
I do not consider her a sister to me.
I try to avoid as much drama with her as possible.
To be frank, I'm quite scared of her.
She lives with my mother & me still, I'm hoping she will move out sooner, rather than later, as she is 19 & she keeps saying that she'll move out, but I think she just loves the control she has around us all & the fear of her & how she practically rules this house.
I don't think she has a heart, at all.
She is also very cruel to her boyfriend, and my mother at times too, which makes me wonder why she favorites her... :what:


Other family members such as cousins, aunts & an uncle have also been involved in taking the pleasure of abusing & bullying me, & using me as the scapegoat.


I have also been sexually abused & molested by my step brother & cousin.
Since I was quite young, around 9-10, I've also had multiple incidents with many boys of being molested & sexually harassed, up until last year, when I left school.


I have been severely bullied, these were around the years of 12 through to the last year of school, which was last year, as I've said.
I dropped out of school in year 7/8 due to the severe bullying, & also because of other problems I was having, & I returned in late year 9 to a special educational needs school after being given a special educational needs statement.
This impacted me a lot, and caused deterioration in my learning skills, self esteem and confidence.
I still remember so much of what they said to me, & it has affected me so badly.
It is one of the main reasons why I developed Eating Disorders, & self harming behavior, & suicidal feelings.


All this abuse, neglect, sexual abuse/molest/sexual harassment, bullying, have caused so much distress & chaos in my life.

Some memories are vivid & distressing, & some are blurred, fragmented, & some, barely a memory at all of what exactly happened, sort of blocked out with the pieces of the puzzle muddled up, & I can't make complete sense of it... it distresses me so much & I don't know what to do, or how to cope with this.

Thank you for reading, I appreciate it, & I appreciate any support given.

Take care, & I hope you all have a good, safe night.

Looks like you and I share fairly similar stories. I haven't made a full post about my past, but I plan to sometime soon.

I know what it's like to be neglected. My father and mother were both extremely neglectful in my younger years. My dad was also extremely abusive physically and emotionally. He called me a plethora of names, and beat me almost every day for a long time. It's not easy gathering motivation to keep going when you feel that no one gives a sh!t about you. But there's always someone out there that can help you.

8 months ago, I was damned tempted to try and kill myself a second time. Today, I've got a dream of meeting some new people in Maryland, and I plan on making that happen. Set a goal for yourself, whatever it is, it doesn't matter. But make sure it's a goal that can make you smile, and make you feel good. Something that can give a massive amount of inspiration. If you can do that, then things shouldn't be so hard.

Hi Desmond, nice to meet you, & thank you for the reply.

I'm sorry you've been through similar experiences. I'm glad you've set yourself a dream.

Right now, I intend to move to America & move in with a good friend of mine. She has been very supportive towards me, & she & I both share so much in common, we now call each other soul mate twins. It's very nice to have someone like that.

I have goals, but at this moment in time, I am incapable of even aiming towards them as I'm housebound.
I do still have dreams though, & I hope one day, I will be able to follow them.

Take care.
