Narrative Child Abuse
When I was around the age of 5 to 7, my mother left my father and I never got to see her. My mother didn't want anything to do with me. My mother never called. Never tried to come see me. The one time I actually went with her, her and her brother hit me so hard it messed up my hip. When my father went to pick me up from her, he noticed I was limping and took me to the hospital. The doctors filed a child abuse report and I had to speak with the cops. My mother and her brother were then questioned and had to appear in court. The whole time they were calling my father and his family calling us all liars and saying that we would never be anything but liars. They were so upset with me in general for telling on them. I was only around the age of …show more content…
My mother and her family still have nothing to do with me. They even turned my older sister, Lacie, against me. Growing up was hard for Lacie and I. Our parents were always fighting and splitting up. Although we are half sisters, we were really close when all of this was happening. The older we got, the more we took sides. I always took my dad's and she always took my mom's. This was mainly because my mom always took her, and my dad always took me. Growing up I didn't know any different than my aunts being my mom. I was so used to them being there, I was so use to them giving me what I never had from my mom. I began calling my aunts my mom. They didn't mind, they knew how important they were to me. I didn't know my mom. I always hear that a mom has a special connection with their babies. I always wondered why I had that with my aunts and why I didn't have that with my mom. I almost feel like maybe it is my fault. Maybe I could've done something better, maybe my dad could have. My parents eventually got back together before the court case was over so the charges were dropped. They still hated me for telling the cops. For so long I was upset that my uncle would not talk to me. Every time I saw him, he wouldn't even look at

    Growing up I never understood why my sister and I were so different, at least in my dad’s eyes. The most painful thing was I knew that he loved my sister more than me. When I was bad I got a beating; when my sister was bad, I still got a beating. My mom would always be there to save me even though she knew it would cause a huge fight with my dad. Fortunately my mom was a smart woman and she divorced my dad.…

    It was the middle of an away sophomore baseball game against DeWitt. My brother, Keegan, was up to bat. The pitch came, he swung and down he went. The baseball came off his bat and drilled him in the left eye. There was only one parent there, one of Keegan’s teammate’s dad. He drove Keegan to the hospital and called my parents. At the time, I was at a softball game working the scoreboard for the varsity West Delaware Hawks team. My mom called to tell me my grandma would pick me up when I was done and that her and my dad were on their way to the Iowa City hospital. My dad was at work at the time and met my mom there. They would explain more later. After they got down there and I got home with my sisters, I called my mom. She gave me an explanation…

    When growing up with a big and spread out family, home life tends to be a little erratic. Since my mother was not the best of children, she had a few boyfriends in her time. She had my sister when she was six-teen, and my brother and I when she was around twenty. My biological father supported her until they both decided that they needed to go their separate ways, and she then married my step father. My family at the time consisted of my parents, my six-teen year old sister, my twin brother, and myself at age eleven. I had always thought of my family as pretty close to perfect until people started to talk. I first learned of this by my neighbor-friend’s mother, who whispered to her kid about why I had to leave every other weekend to visit my “other” father. I had never before thought of this as a strange idea, so I asked my sister about it. She told me our mother’s story. Once my mother learned of this, she was not upset with me for asking so many questions, and for that I’m glad. I learned more about my mother that day and I respected her for recognizing her past mistakes. Since she had, what I think to be, a pretty messed up life before; she corrected that and raised her children to be respectable people.…

    This article takes the very populated views of child abuse and explains the more common ones. It does this through looking through all of the different news stories that report on child abuse and compares them to the government child advocacy reports. In doing this it helps explain the main factor for child abuse. As mentioned earlier many people only think of physical abuse when they think of child abuse. This happens because that is typically the kind of abuse that gets reported on because it is the most noticeable and outrageous. However, the main reason is for neglect and not taking care of all of the child’s needs, mainly food. This article really compares the two and gives a more accurate picture of child…

    Journal Entry Divorce

    As a young child I almost never heard my mother raise her voice to my father. They have been married for over twenty years now and I would consider all of them to be happy. She had gone to college to become a journalist and that's where she met my father. The two fell in love and got married before graduation. I suppose priorities or even interest changed because she never became a journalist. Selfishly, I'm glad she didn't as I have had her full attention since I was born. A couple years ago I was making my way home from school and I could hear a commotion coming from inside of the house. I dropped my things and I ran inside to find my mother crying and raising her fist at my father. Her eyes were filled with tears and her voice strained with anger. Silence fell on the room when they both saw that I was now present. My first instinct was to go to my dad and defend him, being as she was the one that appeared to be the aggressor. My mother just fell to the floor and wept. My father then instructed me to go to my room and they would talk to me at dinner. Of course I insisted on staying but I was directed once again to give them their privacy. An hour or so later I was called to dinner and it was then that I was filled in on what had been happening in our home. My father had been seeing another women for the past six months and my mother had just learned about this earlier today. You can imagine how embarassed I was to have defended him in the same room only a few short hours prior.…

    After my mom and my dad separated, my mom received sole custody of my siblings and me, and she became aloof when it came to being present for the nurturing of my little sister and two years old brother and she also became reluctant to inform my older sister and me why there would be strangers in our home. In one case, my older sister and I waited for my mom to pick up from school for two intensive and weary hours,then our massive, green gas-guzzler car halted in front of us with boxes of our clothes overfilling the back of the car. My mom, who had my younger siblings with her in the car, told us that we would have to leave our apartment, because there was an emergency. I decided it would be easier to accept this and not question my mom, who I wholeheartedly trusted, so I started to play the role of the "good daughter" to make the situation more comfortable for my younger…

    I was only six at the time and had not yet learned how to properly treat and deal with adults. I was taught by Disney sitcoms and from my friends that family is the strongest bond in the world and that you should be able to show who you truly are to them. I was thereby confused because as a young child as I was always eccentric and loud and in my opinion I was just being myself which ,according to what I learned from television, is how you are supposed to be around your family . My sister, however, helped to clear that up very fast by giving me one of most life advice that has subconsciously affected me to this day. “Justin, you have to grow up. There are two sides of every person: one they show their family and one they act around their friends.” This was one of the first ways my family had truly impacted me and shaped me into the person I am today, by splitting me into two distinct people. Around my family I became an awkward, quiet kid who never spoke up and obeyed every word he was told while around my friends I was who I really am; an eccentric, fearless adventurer who is always seeking new thrills and excitements. According to my sister I could not show the true side of me to my parents because to them that is disrespectful and my parents would…
