i was here a month or two ago then deleted my account because of mental problems.

i want to share with you all my side of a conversation i had this morning with my one friend.. here it is.

When i was a little boy i was beaten by family members. Sometimes to the point of unconsciousness. My real father who i luckily did not live with was too drunk to notice i was alive. My brother never beat me outside of the home. I was not bullied at school just at home by my brother and then step dad. They sent me to therapy because of the problems at home and then they told me before therapy to NEVER tell the therapist about the abuse going on at home. It was no wonder i drank like i did and used drugs like i did for 35 or so years. I have never had a chance at a normal life. I am filled with resentment and filled with anger and very depressed. I have always wanted to kill myself but was too chicken **** to do so. Every two weeks my real father had custody of me and my brother. At least my mother was smart enough to divorce him when i was a baby. He was drunk and very abusive to his wife. All of this could be why i have no intention of ever seeing them again.
I need to do what makes me and my bf happy now and think of today and the future and not of the past. But the past keeps eating away at me and nearly every time i wake up from dreams i am reminded of my parents and brother. People who were bullied at school and not at home are truely the lucky ones. Sort of.
I think everyone wants to hurt me. i know i shouldnt. But i am afraid of people. I think deep down i am afraid of you and my bf to some degree also. I never had a friend since before i was 14. They were all drinking buddies and drug pals. I am afraid of everyone. And i know i shouldnt be. This could be why i have no one to call on my phone. Thank you, i WILL tell all of this to my therapist tomarow. My extreme shyness could be just that i am afraid of people hurting me badly.

thanks for reading this. and have a nice day everyone.
 
Yes, well I don't doubt that you are afraid of people, we can be increadibly cruel. As I've said before I really don't know what drives any person to hurt their child willingly. Even their step child, it's different, but it's still bad. I was bullied at school, but never really at home. I wouldn't say it's really the best experience. I know it's hard to trust people, as I too have trust issues, so I'm not really one to help there. I guess just treat every new person as a new person.

I hope you get better. Good Luck. :)
 
Welcome back! Some of us were wondering where you were :)

I'm sorry to hear your past is haunting you. You're not alone, though, a whole lot of people have unfortunately suffered through the same abuse. Sounds like you have a supportive partner and therapist.

I hope you stick around this time! We Californians should stick together :D

Nice to see you back with us, Johnny. I was sad to see you had cancelled your account.
 
People will always hurt you. That's a given. Everyone else is only human, too, after all. Finding the ones worth hurting for is what slips our grasps more often than not. I certainly hope you allow the boyfriend in more and perhaps he can help you deal with the past. Holding onto something that can never be changed will drag you down.
 
Hi Johnny, I am glad you are back :)

you clearly went through hell and back, in spite of all you sound like a sweet person and one who should have many friends - outside of the family, most people usually don't hurt others on purpose, although there are exceptions, but yeah, fear is fear, it's not rational.

I hope you can keep working on it, like you are doing already

glad you came back :)

((( hugs )))
 
You all have been so nice it makes me happy. Thank you all for the warm welcome back. :)
 
hi johnny...my name is kim...

i was raised with a step-father who did everything in his power to abuse me w/o marks...meaning i endured an assload of mental abuse and physical abuse to which he commandeered my mother...examples >> making me eat a pack of cigarettes...making me smoke a pack of cigarettes <20 cigarettes> back to back and the like...i was threatened and mentally tortured by this low life who was only 14 years my senior...he has done so much more to me as an adult but it's simply too much to go into...

the only thing i can tell you is to stay strong and be the better person as i have tried trepidatiously to do myself...it's a struggle that i deal with daily and am on meds to do so...unfortunately it hasn't helped...i'm filled with rage and revenge however i restrain myself from acting upon anything sinister...he simply isn't worth it and i feel like 'he will get his' in the long run...

i wish you all the luck in the world and truly feel for you...

my parents made me smoke a cartoon of cigerettes and i threw up before i was finished and i think it just made me more addicted to them in the long run.

and hello to you.

i have been smoke-free for 14 months now...after 33 years of heavy smoking...the only way i could accomplish this is by vaping...so now i'm a vapor...people will squawk and sneer but **** them...it works...:)

i smoked for maybe 30 years then stopped a few years ago. I do not know exactly how many. I used the patch and somehow that was enough. i think i was just very ready to quit because i have no cravings for it. Also i was able to quit drinking in 2008 sometime. I guess i was just very ready to end that bad habit also. :)
 
I'm glad to see your back Johnny, I've missed your posts :) and I'm happy you feel comfortable now to share your story!
