when i was 10 and 11, my brother got really messed up and verbally abused me and threatened to "beat me to a bloody pulp and kill me" several times. and i had to leave the house, sometimes barefoot, and hide somewhere outside until my mom got home. or lock myself in a room. and sometimes he would punch me really hard like in the arm or back, or he would kick me sometimes.
when i was 12, my bro went to jail.
when i was 13, he got out, lived at home, and was always getting high and drunk and stuff
when i was 15, i got messed up in drinking and cutting and stuff and i tried to kill myself a few times and wound up in a psych ward where i was diagnosed as having bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety.
when i was 16, my other brother, who was extremely handicapped since birth, died of an incurable illness at age 18.

Answers:
I am so sorry that you were robbed of your childhood and had to live in such fear and chaos. Please get some help as soon as you can. Go to someone you consider "safe" and tell them you would like their advice...and recommendation for help. It sounds as though you have had a very rough 17 years....get help, and make the rest of your life what YOU want it to be. Good luck and God bless.
Honey if you even need to ask the question about seeing a counselor than do it. Its quite obvious you have had a lot of trauma in your young life. It definitely is not going to hurt. The abuse within itself is something that needs to dealt with. The cutting within itself is something that needs to be dealt with also. Best of luck.
