I remember at probably like 4/5, my first memory was my father having my mom jacked up against the wall. However, they were not like these 2 people. They are not parents. My parents gave me a clean home, a wonderful property, a great education and I had a full scholarship for college. They were abusive mentally and emotionally. But NEVER conditions like that. Ever. We raised German Shepherd's. Breed and trained them since I was 8 yrs old. The dogs kennels were sweeped out daily, water bowls bleached out monthy. Refilled daily and rinsed out. Feed anywhere between 1 to 3 feedings a day. Depending on age. I am so glad they got away but medically..all those kids are not where they should be. California laws need to get back to being severe for those who murder and torture another human being. So ALL THE KIDS DIDN'T DIE..SO..?? That doesn't matter when they where abused so harshly and neighbors did see things. The 1 teacher for God's sake saw it.

Not allowed to date and I don’t have any friends right now cuz everytime I make a friend they tell me to stop talking to them and make up excuses that this friend is bad influence. Im not allowed to dress however I want or talk on the phone with friends(from social media cuz I don’t have local friends) Im not allowed to come home late I come home at 7 the latest. I want to save money so I can move out and be independent cuz I feel like I’m not confident or independent enough being the age that I am.. I feel bad for the years I lost without experiencing my childhood but at least I know these things were wrong. When I tell my family they’re wrong they actually gaslight me and tell me “you just hate us and you’re crazy we are all normal and you’re the one who’s a psychopath” they would also threaten to call the police on me and tell them that I am scaring them and that they will kick me out. My sister used to bully me in high school and still does to this day. She would bully me about my skinny weight and when the school helped me gain weight at the hospital she started bullying me for gaining wright then she would make fun of the way I eat or my makeup and other stuff.

My other older sister was good to me until she started following my middle sister’s footsteps into calling me names and bullying me everytime I’d stand up for myself.

Guys, there are still people down in the comments saying that you can't heal or move on unless you forgive, but that's such a toxic belief that there's a growing number of people like myself that are trying to make it known that you do not HAVE TO forgive anyone. That it's perfectly okay to say "I don't forgive you", but still forget and move on. No one is owed your forgiveness, and no one gets to decide whether you give it or not besides you, and if they try to tell you otherwise, tell them in no uncertain terms that they need to take several steps back into their own lane. I had a shitty childhood full of adults that would continue to hurt me well into my adulthood, and it got to the point where I had to ask myself what these "family members" even did for this relationship. And because they were unwilling to change they weren't deserving of my forgiveness, or a place in my life. I can't forgive them, I took the time I needed to mourn the loss of a close relationship with them that I always wanted but never had. They don't deserve my forgiveness, and this next chapter of my life I've moved on to has been so much better with me going no contact with them and moving on better than ever.

They found it in the local playground. When the police picked it up from me, they asked, "why did they bring it to you?" I told them it's because they trust me, and feel safe around me. The look on his face said it all. I AM one of the good guys.

Exactly! Everyone that wants to say they are mentally ill don’t realize that they still did so much to cover up this disgusting abuse. They “homeschooled” them just so that they could abuse them in peace. Just looking at the body cam footage you can tell that they didn’t want the police to see what was going on behind closed doors.

I too, for totally different reasons, did not have a normal childhood. But don't worry. Now at age 20 something these young adults can start making up for the childhood they never had. I know they will because I did it too. I'm 55 years old now and I still do some things that normal 55 year olds do not do. You spend the rest of your life making up for what you didn't get in your childhood. It isn't quite the same as having did all these things as a kid but it is the best we have and it makes for a fun adulthood. However, the downfall is that you never really feel completely comfortable with your own age group. For example, I am in my fifties but I enjoy adventurous things that a 20 something might enjoy, and my career life is at the 30 something level of just now finding my way in life. While my chronological age group is slowing down and retiring...I am speeding up. Yes, I look like I'm 55. I have the aches and pains sometimes of that age group but I'll be d@mned if I'm not gonna do all the things I never got to do growing up. Yep. My mother stole my childhood but she can't stop me now. Go do whatever you want guys!!!! Take back what was taken from you! Take it all back and more!!!!!
