I am afraid someday she will kill me. What happened? Where did my little girl with the beaming smile go? She gets drunk and rants and raves, breaking things, storming around as her sister and I sit frozen, scared to say anything as we never know what will send her off. I know about domestic [...]

I am a victim and survivor of domestic violence from home. Growing up, I’ve always had an abusive father. He was violent towards my mother, sometimes towards me, but mostly above all he was verbally and emotionally abusive towards everyone in the family. I have deep scars from his verbal attacks,...

You stole from me. You full of hate and anger looked at me and saw something you can never have. So you stole from me. You stole from me. YOU TOOK MY INNOCENCE! How can I ever get that back? For years I walked around with a chip on my heart. Darkness surrounded me. I [...]

I was raped when I was 22. It was fast and stunning. I knew the guy, a friend of a friend of a friend, and it happened in a car after a concert. He just kept repeating the same thing “you know you want this.” I did not. I did not. I fought and pulled [...]

Firstly I wanted to say all of the stories posted here have moved me greatly and I feel this website is doing such a wonderful job in bringing these issues out of the shadows. I grew up in an abusive household and I guess I didn’t know what a normal relationship looked like. I moved [...]

Once upon a time there was an idealistic little girl. Her parents had separated when she was 6 years old and her mother moved on with a new man. This man did everything he could to ruin the idealisms of this little girl and her two brothers for many years. He used his words, his [...]

When I age 5, I remember my dad hitting me for no apparent reason. I was forced me to hide underneath furniture (like the dining room table) for safety. My mom always looked on and never said or did anything when I was attacked. At the age of 8, it got so bad that I [...]

For a long time I thought I wore a Triple Crown of Abuse. Child sexual abuse, raped in my early 20s, alcohol-related domestic violence from my first husband. I know I’m not alone in this, far from it. Some people win lotteries, others represent a different type of statistic. Being a woman who...

Johanna was one of those cousins who fell into the honorary sibling category. She lived a few blocks from us and she was my younger sister’s age (best friend) so we grew into adulthood together. We borrowed clothes, we shared secrets, we argued and we loved each other like siblings do. How not to...
