Has anyone ever been abused in their live?

I was abused as a child ...I understand how people can shut everyone else out of there lives, pretend they are not there all because they are waiting, waiting for an evil figure to crawl out of the darkness. I was happy because I smiled, but for how longer could I fake that.
It doesn't make sense anymore. I know so many people who have died from a result of child abuse, rape, and so on. It kills to think that me and some of the other people on this spot are some of the lucky ones.
We are beautiful people, and we CAN outrun evil.

well it is not very much but i was more emtionaly at 4 at my foster family till i was adouted.They made me sit all day outside without anything for acidentally breaking something.Even with my new loving family,i don't feel wanted at all.

I was. For 9 years straight. I can remeber everything. And because of that it's hard to let people in. I don't trust people easily. My memories are terrible and even though it stopped I still feel scared in my own home. I don't feel loved sometimes and I have so much anger toward everything because I keep my feelings bottled up (i know it's wrong but I can't help it). I try my hardest just to make everyone happy even if that means I'm not happy or that I'll get hurt in the process but that is the result of what I went through for most of my childhood. Some days Ii can deal with it. Other days i can't, but I never show it. I just hope that I will be able to get over it. Who knows? Maybe I will.....maybe i won't. Great I'm rambling...........oh well

yes i was...it was becuase i killed my mom 9she died giving birth to me) my father and brother hate me and never felled to show it.it feels unloved unwanted useless worthless ugly and self desteucted

yes before and still sometimes i wish it will just stop i just guess thats life it pains me to see my friends and i go throught but im glad i have people that goes throught the same thing so we can talk about how we feel

All i'm gonna say is a three letter word.....yes
