Nervous.....

[StaceyBee]

This is the first time I've, in a way, gone public about it
I don't even really know how to put it

Basically my stepdad used to hit me and everything when he was having a go at me
No one really knows, I only just told my mum the other day and I was really worried that she wouldn't believe me but she did
I don't really trust men now cos of it, all the memories I have of when he was with mum are when he was having a go at me, pulling my hair, hitting me and threatening to kick the **** out of me
I remember leaving home cos he threatened me over £400 which was my own money just cos I couldn't remember what I spent it all on
I remember the same time he TOLD me to leave home and be homeless or something
I'm worried even now that whoever reads this will think that I'm lying
And then he used to pretend that we were the perfect family
We used to be close, I used to be able to talk to him about anything
And now my sister's decided to go and live with him and I'm worried about her
I promise, I am telling the truth

I dont doubt you at all for a second hun. I am sorry you had to go through that. Does your sister know what he is like and the kind of things he has done in the past?

*holds gently*

Hang in there and feel free to pm anytime.

I don't think you are lying.
First of all well done for telling your mum it was a very brave thing to do.
It's understandable you are worried about your sister, do you think you could talk to your mum or sister about it? Even if it doesn't change her mind it might make it easier to keep an eye on the situation and make sure nothing does happen.
Well done for posting I know its hard but I really don't think anyone doubts whether you are telling the truth.
Take care of yourself

My mum's planning on getting Social Services involved cos she doesn't want my sister living with him, he's an alcoholic and just really irresponsible
I don't think I told my sister what he used to do, just to protect her cos he's her real dad
But now that mum knows what went on she can use that against him and what he used to do to my brother
I just need to work on telling my boyfriend and my best friend now
It's hard telling my boyfriend because he hasn't even met him properly yet
He knows about the stuff that's happened with my sister going to his and he knows I'm not happy about it but he doesn't know about what he used to do

Sorry to post again
But what if mum mentions it to Social Services and they ask him about and he denies it and they believe him and he gets to keep my sister?
And what if he has a go at me cos it got mentioned to him, cos he's blatantly gonna accuse me of lying about it
How can mum prove to Social Services that I was telling the truth? And how can she prove that she's telling the truth?
