I dont know what to do anymore, i seem to be stuck in this situation, and i can't find a way of getting out.
About 10 years ago my mum met this man, who is now my step father. About 8 years ago he started getting very angry, and taking it out on me. I was only 8 so i guess i was easily manipulated, brainwashed infact because this is the first time i have ever spoken about this. It started off as a few punches here and there, but then it got more and more regular and more violent.

I know people say that the only way out of this is to tell someone who can help me, but the truth is no one can help me. Although i have never told anyone about this it must have been so obvious that i am being abused and no one is helping me. I was only 8 when i started getting hit and i never hid the bruises, because i wanted someone to see them and see that they aren't just bruises all kids get. All those teachers that must have seen them and never questioned them. If nobody cared about a child of 8 being abused who will care about a 16 year old being abused? I actually feel stuck i dont know how i am going to get out of this situation unless i move out, but that is easier sadi than done.

Just needed to get this out i guess. x

You should seriously call the cops, that can't just go on. You've been abused for the half of your life you got to get out of that! I'm sure he'll endup in jail so you don't have to worry about him anymore.

A lot of my teachers thought I was being abused - they do care. I'm sure there must be a counselling service, somewhere you can go. It's illegal what your step-father does. You don't have to take it. Don't kid yourself into thinking no one cares. People do, often they're just not sure what to say.

I tried to fight back once, just got shoved into the radiator and 2 of my ribs got broken, so i have learnt that it is easier to take the beatings than to fight back. Plus it's a bit hard for a 16 year old girl to protect herself from a 6ft monster

Why don't you call the cops, what's stopping you?

Woa woa woa! No one can help you? I beg to differ. You should never think that. It might be difficult to do something about it, but it should never be enough to give up.

First off, to see those bruises, anyone that saw them would have had to pay enough attention to you to even notice. And even for those who notice, it sounds like none of them were willing to do the right thing and front you up about them. For a lot of people out there, bringing up topics like that can be really difficult. You should definately speak out. I mean... since when did you ever deserve this? If he hits you, then he could start hitting someone else. Or maybe he already is. You could be speaking for more than just yourself.

How has life been for you now?

Note: This is called domestic abuse.

What if they dont believe me or nothing gets done, he will kill me if he ever found out i tried to get him done. Plus i know that if it ever went to court my mother would stick up for him.

Have you even talked to your mom about it yet? She might actually agree with you. A friend of mine has dealt with this. She has told people, and she has gone to the police before. Admitidly, not a whole lot has been done. But if it happens again, she swears she will leave. She is really strong about this whole issue, and so should you.

The police will be forced to carry an investiagion about it, tell them what your step father has been doing through out the years. And that you are scared for your life and that this can't be going on. They will do their job and bring him behind bars, the worst thing you could do is let him be doing what he's been doing so far. And it obviously is too dangerous to just turn a blind eye on, you got to do something!

My mum knows, she has been in the room when it has happend. she says i deserve it, but i dont know what i have done wrong to deserve it. The only time i leave the house is to go to college. When i am at home i try and stay im my room to keep out his way, so it's not like im some tearaway teen. I think i gave up trying to get my mum to care a long time ago.
