Need help with this child abuse story?
Question by thatdontimpressmemuch: Need help with this child abuse story?
There is a young man in his mid-20’s named Jake and whenever he was 5 his parents divorced and his father made him lie to a guardian by saying that his mother told him that she didnt want him so that the dad could get custody of Jake and leave the mother with their one year old daughter Chelsea. So as it went, the dad got Jake and the mom got Chelsea and shortly afterwards the dad started drinking and abusing Jake by pushing, punching, throwing him down steps, forcing him to stay locked in a closet for hours, forcing him not to sleep by making him stand in a corner for hours, making him lay in a tub of ice water ect…He started abusing Jake like this whenever Jake was 5 and continued this until Jake was 17 and moved out of his dad’s house, leaving Jake emotionally wounded. Jake is 24 now and his dad has passed away and Jake wanted to see his mom and sister (whom he hasnt seen since he was 5) and ask his mom how come she never wanted him (a brainwash his dad done to him). Jake calls his mom and tells her that he wants to see her and Chelsea and whenever he shows up at their house he doesn’t hardly allow them to touch him and he tells them that he was staying at a hotel and they talk him into staying with them and having the guest bedroom. What Jake planned on being a “short stay” ended up being almost a month and in that time Jake’s mom and Chelsea have noticed Jake’s behavior is rather strange. He doesn’t allow them to touch him (whenever they do he usually flinches and asks them to “please don’t touch me”) and he don’t ever smile, laugh or hardly even talk and keeps having nightmares every night that ends with his mom or sister running into the room to wake him up in which he fights them at first until he is fully awake and realizes where he is at. He finally admits to his mom that he had been physically and sexually abused all this time that he has been living with his dad. Chelsea soon finds this out too. One night, Chelsea goes into Jake’s room and wakes him up from a nightmare and tried to hug him but he refuses so she goes and gets him a glass of water instead and asks him if he would like her to stay with him until he goes to sleep which he of course says no, Jake will eventually let his guard down but How can Jake’s mom and sister get him to trust them and eventually start to smile and laugh again and not be afraid of them touching him? Please remember that this is a story that I am writing for a friend on child abuse everything I have just said is completely fictional and I just need some help on some emotional scenes that you might could think of that could help Jake trust his mom and sister a little more? thanks
