I was adopted so my "mom" is old. In fact, she's 72. I don't know where she gets her strength...Yesterday, she was beating me again. Punching me all over, pulling my hair. Then she got a broomstick and started hittimg me. she wouldn't stop, and idk what made her stop after what felt like forever. Everyday she is either yelling at me or hitting me again. She says that I'm giving her an attitude all the time, when I know that is not true. That shouldn't even be an excuse for physical violence. I can't stay here for three more years. I'm tired of living my life, waiting for her to get it over with, to beat me because I know it's comming; the only surprise is when it does.
Is it hard to believe that a 72 year old could be strong enough to abuse a 15 year old?
I'm sorry to burden you with this.

*hugs* not sure, drank lots of milk when she was a kid? its not a burden though, don't ever think that... is there anyone else you can live with? I wouldn't recommend just running away though because very bad things can happen to you on the streets

*hugs back*
there is no one i could live with
no family
no one at all
I was thinking about becoming an emancipated minor, but that is extremely difficult to do

yea, especially at your age and you need a job, you'd need to prove you were capable of living on your own... do you have other kids in the house?

deleted_user 12/03/2007

yeah
I've played over different scenarios over and over in my mind
there's just my sister and I [biological] she's 1 year older than I am

deleted_user 12/03/2007

what does she say about it?

deleted_user 12/04/2007

she says that there's nothing we can do
there's no one we can stay with
there's no way we could get jobs to support ourselves AND do school stuff
it's impossible
and she's right
so i guess I have three more yeayears until itis possible

deleted_user 12/04/2007

is there an adult you can talk to? maybe a school couselor?

deleted_user 12/04/2007

i say go to a school counsellor, or if u can, a pschiatrist.they would call C.A. they r nasty to ppl like her when it comes to abuse situations. u shouldnt have to count down the days till u can truely live without being hurt.

My mother amazed me at the strentgh she had when she was beating me. Many times I was sure she would kill me.I am not a teen like you today, but I was there once, and did not have the resources, and had 2 little brothers at home to care for.
Does your mom beat your sister too? I don't know where you live , but have you gone to a doctor of hospital to show them the marks and possibly be taken out of her care and go into foster care?

What your mother is doing is absolutely wrong and she should be stopped. You need to tell someone at school about what is going on. You have your sister as a witness. You are not an object that can be hit when your mother gets a whim. Someone needs to know about this - maybe your sister and you could be sent to a foster home - which doesn't sound wonderful but it is better than being beaten up all of the time. Good luck.

I would have to agreee.....you need to tell someone at school. They are there to help you. I will pray for you! I have a 15-year-old daughter also, and she thinks her life is terrible....if she only knew..

deleted_user 12/05/2007

You could call the police or DCF. They'll look at you and see if you have any bruises. I don't know if you want to be taken away from her, though.

deleted_user 12/05/2007

Why did she want you if she was just going to beat you?

deleted_user 12/05/2007

Have you ever looked for your bio mom?

deleted_user 12/05/2007

My gosh, so sorry honey. I cant imagine...I have a 4 year old, and his gramma not too long ago hit him over and over in front of me and i about came unglued on her. I am 40 years old, I wish I could send you a protective hug, wish I could help.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
