I'm not surprised that you're beginning to remember things that you didn't recall before. You see, at 14 you're becoming more mature. You understand more about what is and isn't appropriate. You know more about relationships than you did as a little girl; not as much as you're going to learn, but definitely more. Your mother's current relationship that you believe is abusive may well have been the trigger. But your self-esteem can't be tied into your mother's relationships or into the incidents that happened to you as a little girl. You ARE worthy of dignity and respect. But you must also be prepared to give dignity and respect in order to get it back. As angry as you get with your mother, when you disrespect her you disrespect yourself. When you disrespect yourself, you are treating yourself no better than those sick excuses of human beings who mistreated you. Please consider some type of counseling. Contact Child Help at 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) in order to talk to someone about the what you are dealing with and the cutting and depression. They are staffed 24/7 with professionally trained counsellors who will listen to you. Visit their website by copying & pasting the following URL into your browser: http://www.childhelp.org/get_help

 Get out! Fast!
by: Anonymous

Ellie, your so-called mom and her boyfriend are so twisted and screwed up that they don't even know how to take care of themselves, not to mention be parents to you. Your "stepdad" is a slimy, disgusting pig and he should be locked up for all those disgusting crimes that he committed against you. As for your so-called mom, shame on her for treating you so sadistically! She needs help! Oh, and what happened to you is not your fault because you did nothing wrong. You are not to blame; those beasts are to blame because they are the ones who chose to hurt and offend you. You were the child; they were the adults. They had all the power and they misused it over you. You are really lovable, so don't believe those lies that your mother is spewing. Please get away from this poisonous "family" and tell somebody you really trust and keep telling until he/she will finally listen to you and help you.

Dear Ellie, I can tell you are going through a really tough time at the minute honey. It's horrible feeling life isn't worth living anymore, I have been there, I ended up taking an overdose and months of councilling. You will get a better relationship with your mum, me and my mum used to fight all the time, your a teenager and remembering that is so horrible, because you want to blame and tell your mum, but how will she react, will she believe you? (that doesn't matter, we believe you on here and we and others do and will care about you. you've got a lot of anger in you and I can empathise that, i was the same, but you need to find a way with dealing with it that isnt harming yourself. i honestly find team sports really helpful, you don't have to be good at it, but it gets rid of all your excess energy, so your too tired to be angry. you'll be able to reflect on things better with a clear steady head, and your relationship with your mum might get better. don't push your mum or friends away, bring them closer :) xxxx
