Thank you for sharing your story with my visitors and me. I do hope the second half of your life is full of the dignity, respect and love you've always deserved. Distancing yourself from your "family" is likely the healthiest thing you could ever do for yourself, and possibly your children too.

 Good choice
by: Mike

I also think leaving your family is a good choice. Things could change if they all got counseling, but they likely wouldn't and the past can't be reversed. Speaking of the past, you're the same age as I am, so I can tell you personally that without help, the past will always haunt you. How much it affects you can vary, but if you haven't yet talked to someone, I bet the past does come back at least once in a while. If it does, you don't have to let it continue. Getting help getting over your past will make your life, and your children's lives better.

 Even animals would never treat their young so sadistically
by: Anonymous

Maria, your so-called family is wrong because they are truly sick, twisted, sadistic and cruel in their own ways of thinking...not to mention uneducated control freaks. They didn't deserve to have such a beautiful, wonderful, articulate daughter like you, but most of all, you certainly didn't deserve to have such uneductaed, unloving, ignorant, uncaring, animalistic, cruel, sick, twisted, sadistic family (actually, they must've brainwashed your sisters as well). Oh, and even making jokes about you "trying to hide in a plate of food" really shows me how uneducated and ignorant they really are. Oh, and I can relate; in fact, no one ever believed me when I tried to tell them that my so-called family battered me; no one ever believed me when I tried to tell them that my so-called family tried to destroy and kill me; in fact, all they did was turn their backs on me and tell me things like "You deserved it", "It is your fault", "You should always listen to your parents and honor them everyday", etc. Oh, and my so-called parents also even let my so-called brother use and abuse me as well and, again, no one even cared enough to help me at all. Oh, and even my ex-boyfriend used to care about me and believe me all the time until the day I caught him cheating on me. Anyway, have you tried counselling? Be brave, Maria, and stay strong. I believe you and will pray for you.
