For those who went through child abuse: Can u relate to David Peltzer in the book "A child called it"?
Question:
Answers:
Yes...I have alot of trouble talking about it. I bottle everything up inside and when it overflows I cut or burn myself to control it. When that hasn't worked in the past I have tried to kill myself. The last time I was pretty close and by the grace of God I lived. Now I'm going to counseling, but I still feel if I tell it will be real and everyone will hate me. David was brave and amazing to tell his story and help people through his words.
Tink
Silence
If I tell you, you’ll look at me , you’ll see me , you’ll hurt me.
If I show you myself I loose the illusion of control I work so hard to protect.
In my silence I’m free to let you see the outside disguise and not the hurting me.
Mine was sexual (stepfather) and emotional He died when I was 7. My mother and I were never close. Not like my older sister. I always felt she would have nothing to do with me if I wasn't her daughter. I think it's guilt on her part. While drinking, I cornered her and realized she knew about it, but what could she do in 1966? It was unheard of. I didn't have it nearly as bad as David. My daughter brought that book home. It wasn't until my 2nd son brought it home that I was able to read it. It was very upsetting, I cried through most of it. When kids go through this type of thing they believe the threats, when in reality if I had told anyone I never would have been left with him again.
