How bad, truly, is this “abuse”?
Question by Rachel O: How bad, truly, is this “abuse”?
This is a genuine question, this isn’t one of those questions like “Am I ugly?” and expect a whole lot of “No, You’re SOO pretty”
So, when I was young, 8 is the earliest I can remember, my mother used to say “Let’s slit our wrists together. We’ll go up the vein so they can’t save us.” My dad confirmed yesterday that she used to say this A LOT, especially when she was drunk, which was quite often (I don’t know why he didn’t stop it though). And when I was 11 my mom took me to see this drug dealer with her and we bought pot and smoked it outside of my house and I remember her laughing at me because I didn’t know how to draw, I was just bum-puffing. But yeah, my friend believes I have extremely low self-worth, and I don’t see a lot of bad things that happen to me (rape) as that bad because of. So how bad is it? I mean in my opinion, it is not nice, but it’s not like REALLY bad or nothing, and some people on here seemed shocked by what she did.
It happened until I was thirteen, which is when she didn’t want me anymore, because I was making her boyfriend (who she cheated on my dad with) uncomfortable and I was putting a strain on her partying. And I am 17, turning 18 in September. I know, this stuff really shouldn’t affect me still. But it does sometimes.
I’m actually a very happy person I made my teacher cry because I told her about all the things I have been through (not just my mom) and yet I was the happiest student she’s had.
But yeah I spoke to my dad an hour ago and his excuse for not stopping it was “I wasn’t allowed to go against your mother. Rachel, this isn’t an appropriate conversation” hmm… and my sister thinks I’m reading too much into it.
nah, my sister didn’t get that kind of attention. Because I was my mom’s “Baby girl” I got most of her “love” and love to her is wanting to “go” with her child.

Sweetie, this is terrible. It is just what you are used to. Not only did the things your mother did hurt you, but the good things you should have gotten but didn’t are crippling you. You need to seek some professional help.

That is some SERIOUSLY messed up stuff. I suspect that it’ll take a long time and some professional help to try to get over this kind of thing. It’s totally not normal and really scary to hear someone say that it has ever happened.
