Some people remember every detail, while some people remember only random events. Some events can be sketchy, while others are etched into the memory banks to never be forgotten. And when you have someone who's messing with your mind, telling you that what you do remember is wrong, well it gets very confusing, like you said. I have a different gauge: The effects you've endured as a result of abuse say it all. You don't need me or others telling you you either did or didn't make it up, or that what you endured was or wasn't abuse. There are people who believe what happened to you was perfectly normal and even "okay", but I am not one of those people. Nor will I allow anyone to come on my site and say that what happened to you was normal "discipline", because I do not believe it was. Even within the law that says spanking is acceptable (a law I do not support in any way shape or form) your mother went way over the line. And she was emotionally abusive. I strongly suggest two things: One, go to the left-hand margin and click on the links on the nav bar there to learn more about the various types, effects and signs of abuse. You'll get some of the answers you're looking for within those pages. Two, contact one of the hotlines listed on my stories page, depending on where you live, in order to talk to someone confidentially. Your father is living in a state of denial, and that is only serving to worsen your state of mind. Instead of questioning whether or not what happened to you was real, look toward dealing with the repercussions. You didn't deserve to be mistreated. You DO deserve help for the fact that you were. Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me.

 I believe you, I believe you, I believe you!

CLB, I can't believe that your dad would abandon you to the so-called care of that sick, sadistic, ignorant monster of a mother and allow her to beat and berate you everyday...how dare he! That's not discipline; that's just torture and it's also all about power and control. Oh, and she is wrong. You are not stupid; you are not lazy; you are smart and articulate. You are not a brat; you are not a b****; you are not careless; you are a good, caring, beautiful person. Don't ever believe any of those lies that she was spewing. She doesn't know how to love even herself; all she ever knew is hate so she should've known better and loved and cherished you. If she didn't want to be there, then she should've had the courage to give you up for adoption and leave instead of sadistically abusing you in this way. The path that she and your dad chose was and still is inexcusable. Plus, she is a manipulator and I'm sorry to even believe that she really wanted you to fail just so she could keep controlling you. Mothers who abuse their own daughters are one of the real abusers. You are not to blame for her sadistic, ignorant behavior; she is to blame because, first of all, something's seriously wrong with her; second of all, she chose to abuse you. You were the child; she was the adult; she had all the power and only misused it over you, so the sooner you tell, the better. Darlene's right! Please tell someone you really trust (yes, you can even tell any sympathetic relative you have too) and keep telling until he/she will finally listen to you and help you. Oh, and please look into reporting your so-called parents (especially that beast of a mother) to prison.
