Abusive Childhood

Hello,

My name is Kayja, and I am 17. I have spent the past 2 hours crying whilst listening to songs that remind me of my bad childhood, and ended up on this site, reading peoples posts about childhood abuse. So, this will be my first post!

Up until the age of 7, i was abused by my dad, mum, and stepdad. I wont go into detail right now (may another time if anyone wanted to hear it), but today I have severe PTSD and anxiety attacks (I am still learning to deal with these issues). 2 weeks after my 7th birthday, I was finally taken into foster care, to then be adopted at the age of 8 by my angelic Grandparents.

I am feeling very emotional, so I thought I would share this. To everyone that has been abused, or is currently being abused, please stay strong. There are better times ahead, and you are worth so so much. There are people that love you so much, you just have not met them yet, please dont give up. Please remember that as cheesy as this sounds, things do get better. I promise.

Sending lots of love and positive vibes <3
