Open Sexual Abuse

I was molested by my father from ages 15-19. He was still molesting me even after he found out some other guy got me pregnant. I now have an 8 yr old whom I currently look after as a result from being molested because my child's father raped me. I have a hard time dealing with how my father molested me and my husband makes comments about how he has to parent a 27 year old. It makes me depressed knowing that my husband thinks he still has to raise me he just has to be my mate.

Open Physical & Emotional Abuse

I was emotionally abused by mother from age 13-18 up until I moved out of the house. She always called me a lazy good for nothing that will never amount to anything. It still sometimes brings me to tears. But at least my mom doesn't treat me like that anymore. She's been really good to me as of late.
