Flashback #1

That time my “mom” dragged me out of the car and into the house by my hair and shoved my head under the faucet because she didn’t like the way my hairspray smelled.

*Feel free to share a flashback of your own.*

That time my “dad” hit me across the head and screamed at me when we were on a walk. I was six and had just thrown a snow ball at him. He said that I was being sly because I was mad.

That time my dad had a fit over the butter knife still having some butter on it and threw it across the room. Wedging itself into the cupboard by my sisters head, theirs still a hole there.

[imladris-soldier]

It’s a long story, but that time my mom dragged me up the stairs by my hair, threw me on my bed, climbed on top and just kept hitting. All over a pill bottle she was determined I had done something with.

She found it in her robe pocket a couple hours later.

[abusedkidgooglesearches]

That time my cat was missing so my mom hit me on the back of the head and screamed at me that it was my fault that he got out and that he was going to die alone and afraid outside because of me (he’s ok, we found him three days later hiding under a bush safe and sound)

[localcryptidz]

The time my mom yelled at me for a hour straight because I told the doctor I called the suicide hotline. She yelled at me the entire car ride and at home. So much screaming and hitting it scares me still. I had a break down over it just yesterday and she yelled at me to get over it and started to complain about her problems and told me how she didn’t need to deal with my emotions. Because it’s not normal or important to cry over trauma.

[deadly-unicornius]

That time when I was four and my mom had a fit of anger and pushed my head into the bath tub so hard because I didn’t want to take a bath and I almost thought I’m going to die. I was screaming and crying and she didn’t stop till I almost passed out.

[sloanepeterson6-deactivated2020]

My mother got so mad at me because I woke up and got out of bed on my own. She was angry, put me back into my bed, hit me 3 times on the left side and broke my ear drum. Had to take me to the doctor because of it. The pediatrician called the police on her while I was in her office. I was 3. I remember allllll of it .

[epsquish]

I’ve been having a lot of flashbacks to this lately: When I was 12 and lived in a rural area, the kids who lived near us called us for help because they were home alone and someone was trying to get into their house. Their house was about a 5 minute drive away. My mum took me with her, drove her car around their property for a bit, said she saw no-one, then left me there with them and told me to call her if anything happened and she went back home. No mobile phones, no car to escape, just 3 kids on their own, miles away from anyone else, and I was in charge. Luckily the rest of the night was quiet, but funny thing, someone was actually trying to break in, they found him later. Thanks for taking such great care of the kids, you a-hole coward.

[lovelylemonboythings]

I don’t remember why she did it because I was dissociating at the time, but I remember mumbling something to my mum while having a chat in my room and all of a sudden I’m slammed against the wall by my hair with her breathing heavily and pure anger in her eyes, staring me down. I was silent, pretty sure my eyes were dead, I was unresponsive. We stood like that for about ten seconds before she let go of my hair in a huff and walked out. I still don’t remember why.

[flowersandneedles2]

That time my mom choked me in the air cause I did not fold a basket of clothes when I was 8 were not even mine they were my 3 sister’s laundry.

[godsperpetuallyforsaken]

The time when my dad was beating me up when I was 14. I had taken some photo albums from the cupboard to show my brother and he got livid that I touched anything.I was dissociating and suicidal by the point so I just let him keep hitting me as hard as he could without me flinching because I wished so much that he just kills me. He probably would have too if my mother didn’t come and screamed at him while holding me. I wasn’t reacting, I wasn’t crying I was just hoping that he would kill me and finally I’d be free.

[stoopidassjamesfranco]

A lot of people talk about their parents, but I have two about my aunt and her brother. The first hit me while I was trying to surface from the water because she knew I was lgbt and she hated that I talked about it with my little cousin. And before that event, her brother tried to touch me in a weird way, I said no and he hit me and make me fall, I was close to the stairs

It’s been an year we don’t talk with that family again, I miss my two little cousins… They were everything for me…

[girl-im-gone-now-deactivated202]

@the-most-beautiful-ugly I can relate to losing contact with your cousins. Mine was my bestest friend but my aunt and uncle were evil. He did things to both of us in her early childhood bedroom (we were aged 5) I’m currently in pursuit of getting the younger two out of there. The boy (age 8) was diagnosed with severe conduct disorder. He’s also gay which his father heavily disapproves of. He’s incredibly violent and dangerous, he learned from his father. The girl (13) is severely hypersexual and depressed. And I would do anything to get them free and into a patient and caring environment. Even if he comes back for me.

Threefer!

6 year old me staying awake for the entire night for about three months because my dad would beat me if I dropped something in the floor in my seat.

Me and my sister getting our heads bashed into eachothers for laughing too loud around the same time as the first one.

My dad throwing me across the room for reasons I do not recall

[detached-th0ughts]

That time my mom came home plastered one night & I could hear my dad screaming and raging at her. I was by the stairs listening to make sure he didn’t hit her, until I heard slamming/banging. I went downstairs and he was choking her out on the floor. I froze at first until her face went purple and then my instinct was to just go down there and push him off her before he killed her or something. He threw me into a wall, but I didn’t feel it.

[cartoonmentalcrisis]

My father and mother secretly giving me alcoholic drinks when I was 11 during Christmas and laughing as my smaller than average self struggled to get up off the couch and to the toilet and then to bed. I threw up the next day and that’s when my father told me. He expected me to happy about it.

[exactlywattonachain]

Oh the things I could add to this. Lemme pick one.

The time my mother smacked a 10 inch cast iron skillet on the front left side of my head because it wasn’t washed the night before. I wasn’t even home the night before.

[borderlinepdfeels]

After an assault, I called my friend crying and that moment, that cold floor, the feeling of the words I said coming out of my mouth, just keeps coming back.

[fallacious-mirage]

That time my older brother headbutted and knocked me out, giving me a concussion. I was 14 he was 21. The hospital called social services on him. I just remember crying and asking my mum “why does he hate me, why does he hate me so much”? “

[wordstoobeautiful]

When my "friend" decided to take me back to his apartment to make up for three days of radio silence because I can out to him and instead he.. um..decided to do things to me.
