Journey of Life

C. Angel

Description

A honest compelling story about child abuse. Easy to understand and read. Brings attention to what a child feels and adult may feel growing up with abuse.
I wanted answers as an adult. I was angry, afraid, passive yet yearning to feel whole. So I researched child abuse, conducted in college and through reading: Growing up isn’t easy for any child without having to live with being abused. A child having to live with such an array of psychological problems makes it that much harder. The adults who do survive this ordeal are likely to have a hard time fitting into society.

Prelude
I. I wanted answers as an adult. I was angry, afraid, passive yet yearning to feel whole. So I researched child abuse, conducted in college and through reading: Growing up isn’t easy for any child without having to live with being abused. A child having to live with such an array of psychological problems makes it that much harder. The adults who do survive this ordeal are likely to have a hard time fitting into society. Why? It may take a lifetime to deal with the emotional trauma. In my research of child abuse, the removal of the child, or even the stopping of abuse with family therapy is not enough; the emotional damage is done. It is not reversible though getting help can sway the negative emotions into positive ones, but this is a long process. Psychologists suggest therapy for person who has been abused.
II. The psychological disturbances that may follow abuse have their counterparts in other types of maltreatment, Rejection, low self-esteem, excessive rebelliousness, self destructive tendencies, and even suicide. Abused children may feel both helplessness and hopelessness. Some become anti-social, which they may carry over to adult life.
