My name is Lily. This is my first time posting here. I was abused physically emotionally, and sexually throughout my childhood and teens, and even into my adult years. I was a really screwed up teen and everyone treated me like shit for it. Despite how noticeabley screwed my homelife was not much was ever done. I couldn't get police to understand, and Children's Aid never believed I needed a stable environment. I was nearly committed a few times but my family stopped that from happening and deny it ever happened.
This may be traumatic to hear. One of my strongest memories in my teens is my mother allowing an older sibling to beat me for talking to a school guidance counselor. This was also after an incident where an aquaintance was a little bit sexually abusive with me.
I would act "crazy" afterwards and people would judge me for it and sometimes be downright cruel.
15 years have passed since that time in my life and I am blown away by how angry I still am, and how judgemental and cold our society typically seems to be with people who have difficulty coping with life after such a shock.
