friends help: i was raised with abusive parents. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

i was raised with abusive parents.

i’m only fourteen so i still live with them. but due to my violent upbringing, i get violent with my stuck up sister when she treats me like dirt. my sister was never abused and she thinks its funny when my dad yells at me. my sister also punches me and kicks me and hits me. when i do anything to her my dad punches me back “to see how i like it”. but when my sister punches me my dad says, “nice one!” she never gets in trouble. right now, my sister is eleven. i’m fourteen. and i wouldn’t be surprised when she has a handful of kids by the time she graduates high school. she has absolutly no morals at all. she’s failing school, she’s had three or four boyfriends. she’s just a mess. she thinks she’s better than everyone else and that she’s on top of the world and everyone else is below her. this is a quote directly from her to her friend, “i don’t think we should be friends anymore because you’re kind of in the lower class and i’m in the high class.” its disgusting. its an embarrassment to be her sister. i would NEVER say anything like that to anybody. how do i bring her back down to earth and realize she’s not all that, and get my parents to yell at her, rather than me?

Ignore your sister. And don’t hit her. Even if she hits you, just walk away.

Why do you say that you’re abused?

I think you may need to speak to another adult to help you more directly with this situation, like a trusted teacher or religious leader. Someone you can definitely trust to not talk to your parents about you behind your back. That’s a difficult thing to establish, but if you know someone like that, then by all means tell them. You’re only hurting yourself more by not letting anyone else know about this problem. Please, by all means, get it out to someone older and wiser.

sounds difficult to achieve, considering both aspects involve someone else’s actions. find a way to not be bothered by your sister’s actions & not get yourself yelled at by your parents. i know it’s hard at 14- you’re stuck in that house for another 4 years- but you have to make the best of it. try to focus on something else. i have a 41 yr old brother and we still have serious sibling rivalry… since i can’t change his behavior, i’ve had to change my reaction to it.

Yeah, I agree with Astro. You should talk with a teacher, or a trusted adult about this. If you’re in an unhealthy environment at home, then they should be able to help.

At the very least you shouldn’t be dealing with this on your own.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is avoid your family as much as possible.

If I were you, I’d let that brat of a sister of yours live her life like that. I’m in the exact situation, and I can’t wait til my step-sister screws up here life. In the meantime, she if you can report the abuse to a school official, like your teacher of guidance counselor. They can do something to get it to stop. I hope things get better for you. =) Good luck!!

i dont think trying to tur your parents rage on your sister would be helpful too you. i agree with talking to a trusted teacer or adult, before they really hurt you.

my parents are like that, not as bad obviouysly, but they let my brother and sister get away with anything and they yell about how ur older and you hurt mor? yeah its crap, my mom tells my older sister to beat me up and they say im to blame
its tough
really tough
i think ur best bety is to take up a time consuming hobbie and avoid the unnessisary arguments
i do horse riding, and i help out in the week after school, it takes me away from everything and when i get home i am up to my ears in homework so i dont really have time for arguments anymore
hope it all goes well
xx

I was also abused growing up. You need to go to your school counselor’s office and tell them that you are being abused at home. They will either force your family to learn how to get a long or give you options to move out and live with people who will not abuse you. It’s really hard, I know, trust me. I was taken out of the house several times due to my abusive situation but eventually moved out as soon as I turned 18 years old and lived with friends until college started. Do as well as you can in school and apply to schools with on-campus housing. If not, get a job immediately and start saving so that you can move out as soon as you turn 18 and share an apartment with someone for a lower rent amount. The freedom felt from escaping abusive parents is amazing. They are too ignorant to realize the prison they are making for you so don’t even bother to waste your time pointing out to them that they are being abusive. They are too stupid. Just ignore EVERYONE– HUMOR THEM –and get the highest grades you can in school. It will be a victory for you when you get the f***** out of there and have your own life. It was for me.

Truly Yours,

Free Survivor of Abuse
