My story.

Im 17. I have never really been abuse. Many people very dear to me have been. Not just in relatonships but if parents abusing there child. This is my story.

I have no mother. Died when I was 2 from suicide. No one really knew what was wrong or going threw her head. No one really seems to tell me about her besides my cousin and my grandmother. Everyone tries to forget her. My cousin who is 23 was the one who would tell me stories about her my mom my moms sisters. Which were all in abuseive relationships and raped as well.

I am the one on my moms side of the family who has not been abused or raped. My mother was my cousin was when she was 14 and she has had 2 relationdhips that have changed her life and mine as well forever. she was in a realtionship and they were in a new house he pinned her to a bed raped her and then tried to kill her. She had never fully unpacked so she was glancing at the kitchen knife in the boxes near her and and soon as she was going to get it she said he was thrown in to a wall, like magic. she didnt touch him no one else was there. she grabed the keys took offand went to the police. she got him on a sex offenders list. She was also married and i had met this man he was nice sweet caring to me. they fought a little but what relationship doesnt well one day she decided to leave him. he stalked her he threated her and followed her. One day at the house that she was in he showed up broke in and killed her best friend and threw herin a river she was found and he is now in jail. They are still going over his files and evidence and its been almost maybe even a year. My cousins mom was also raped and absued. She was young in love and couldnt stand up to him for years and years on end she delt with him hitting her and trying to kill her and throwing things at her went in and out of the hospital. One day she thought of her sister who had died (my mom) and rememberd how my mom would tell her to leave him to not put up with it. She never listend to my mom while she was alive but few weeks after she died she left him. She grew strong. my family is very diffucult but all these stories have made me strong makes me feel that I can be the big one who doesnt put up with it doesnt let someone hurt them. They have taught me alot. I may not have my mother but i am strong and she made me. I miss her dearly but all the stories help alot. I hope my story just shows you some insight and tells you dont put up with the crazy reationships who try to control and hurt you. Ive been in a reationship for over a year and i couldnt be happier. There is someone out there for everyone and yes they will love you and treat you the way you desever to be treated. No one desever to be abuse hurt in any way shape or form...

thank you.
