Abuse Case File
I was told every day that I was a mental deficient just like my real mother. That I was nothing and would never be anything. I was told that I was the most ugly child they had ever seen. I was beaten, strangled, whipped, publicly and privately humiliated. I was locked in a room and not allowed to socialize. I ran away at 16 and went to court to declare myself an emancipated youth.

Abuse Case File
From April 1978 until October 1984 I was sexually and physcially abused by my adopted parents. They both had been found mentally unfit to adopt me but through private adoption were able to get me. I was kept in an attic with no light which was freezing cold in the winter and stiffling hot in the summer. I was starved alot of times as well. I was not allowed in the living room or kitchen except to clean. My life was such a nightmare that sleep became my only friend.
Abuse Case File
Constant verbal abuse by both aparents. Physical abuse by afather until 14. Afather would put us in dangerous situations (example: line us up and shoot at us with live ammo, told to hold still). Afather set my play house on fire (with me in it) when I was five (he needed the insurance money). A passerby saw the fire and got me out. Afather was not happy. I cut all ties with aparents when I was 19.
