A man shares his ordeal growing up with his mother that did not really care for his home and constantly beats his sister.
Here is his story:
I was driven to hell for years by my mother. She left me for months on end to care for my siblings by myself while she was living a lavish lifestyle hooking up with another man, she used me to vent and heavily emotionally and both verbally and physically hurt me.
She was a huge narcissist and only cared for herself, not my siblings and I. However, I wasn’t the only one who experienced this nightmare… My sister did as well. She was beaten up by my mother until she bled, there were many instances where I yelled at my mother to leave her alone and I even had to rip her off of my sister.
I remember the screams that my sister made when she was beaten, they were the most blood-curdling ones and they terrified me…
After I ripped my mother off of her, I would usually have a panic attack and cry as I was curled up in a ball.
My sister and I pleaded to the security cameras for help and even planned running away in the past, we never did. We don’t recall many home-cooked meals, only instant meals, frozen meals and fast food. I was eventually kicked out of my home for defending my sister and I. No, I didn’t physically fight my mother, I reminded her of all the years of trauma we both dealt with.
