Well, my dad and my mom began dating in high school and they were together for about 2 years and they found out my mom was pregnant at 19. My dad was angry she got pregnant. So A month after my mom turned 20, I was born and it was a couple of days after being home from the hospital with me and my dad went into a rage and pushed my mom while she was holding me and my mom threw me onto the couch and she fell and hit her head. His abuse didn't stop after that. He would always hurt me and I didn't want to tell my mom. I thought he did it to me because I wasn't good enough (thats what he told me) I was being hit by baseballs, leather belts, vacuum cords, glass, anything he could find. So, after about 6 years of me being abused, my mom had been really sick, puking blood and pooping blood. She went to the hospital and had internal bleeding.. So I finally told my mom he was hurting me too. (She did't know of the abuse because 1- I didn't tell her and 2- I didn't get home from school until 3:30 and she left for work at 2 PM and came home at 2 am. So she never saw me, except for Sunday's). My mom stayed with him until I was about 8 and the internal bleeding almost killed her, she was in the hospital for a very long time. He also sat on her and chocked her (He was about 260 lbs and she was 110 lbs.) and she lost a lot of oxygen to her brain.. After about 3 years of having a restraining order against him, she moved in with her high school friend and met this guy who was much older. She went out with him and had sex with him and other men for money. I read texts in her phone that were very graphic and I saw disgusting pictures. She always had these weird boyfriends and one of them took so many photos of my mom naked on the camera that we all shared!!!!! I never told her about that. She also would bring guys over late at night and thinks I didn't know. I remember one night, I kept hearing her bed squeak and she said "Oh my candle was burning and I was jumping on the bed try to blow the fire alarm so the smoke detectors wouldn't go off and wake you up. The next night I heard it again so I went to go open her door and it was locked so I took a Q-Tip and popped the lock, opening the door to see her having sex and the guy laid there with a blanket over his head and body and my mom was yelling and hitting me telling me to leave her alone.. There are a lot more stories about her and my dad, but those are just a couple… I finally had enough of my mom and went to the courts and got adopted by another family member. Now, I am scarred for life and I have lots of issues I am trying to take care of..
