The Abuse Of My Family

Improved Essays
My family has always been the most important thing in my life. I had always thought that family should always be protective and should cause no harm. It was hard for me to think that on October 9th of 2012 when my mother had received the call from my aunt that lives in Chicago who was accusing me of stealing her identity, and information from a case that she said she was supposedly going to get millions of dollars Why would one’s own family would want to cause harm and somehow destroy part of one’s life? This event caused a rivalry between my aunt and my parents because they were not believing her accusations. All of my uncles and aunts had also gotten involved and believed her story and making a battle between my parents vs. my aunts and …show more content…
She was a person I used to look up to and who had caused a huge deception in my family. To me it was an event that I would only expect to see in a typical movie or a soap opera or a movie about family rivalry. The pain that especial person cause and to think that she was so cold hearted and to not think how many people she would harm with her lies made me think that this chapter of pain would never end. It was an event where I would question myself if it would ever end and what have I done wrong to deserve this hatefulness from my own family. I had lost the respect from my family for something I had not done. I was at one point thinking that the only way to get done with the pain and hate my family was feeling towards me was to end with my life and finally end with this disgrace that my family was making me feel. I would cry to sleep and pray for this nightmare to end and for truth to come afloat and make my life how it was …show more content…
My parents had been my support through all of this nightmare. I have learned to forget those that have caused pain because one can only leave things to God and pray that he will make justice and that all the truth will sooner or later come to rise. I want to believe that she made this decision without thinking that it could have a great painful impact in a person’s life. She never thought that it would not only affect one person, but several people. Even though it was a time of pain and deception I learned to deal and somehow heal through time. It has been already four years since it all happened, I have learned to forgive and give thanks to my parents for being a great support to me because I now know that they are the only people I can trust. With this forgiveness, I have been able to move on with my life and continue with my education. I have also learned to see the world from another perspective because now I now have this feeling of not trusting people because I now think people are harmful and not caring. I hope that one day I am able to be more trustful and not feel that I am being lied on. I think that things happen for a reason, because they ought to make one stronger and learn from the experience that we have

The fact that said other people bullied you didn't help. But you can tell how different these monsters are.

    My Grandpa's Abuse

    Introduction: While conducting research for my genogram, I began to understand the scale of my grandpa’s abuse. On my dad’s side, he has fifteen brothers and sisters. He grew up incredibly poor and my grandparents viewed children as a mean for income rather than for child-raising. Because of their socio-economic status and because my great-grandparents were direct immigrants from Germany following the late famine in the 19th century, my grandparents physically abused all of their children. This was considered normal and no one raised an eye to it, but all of them were assaulted with a cattle prod and whipped if they did not comply.…

    The thoughts that I have about this situation is that i think this is a messy situation that needs to be handled the right way without there being any conflict.

When I first learned what those words meant, I began to develop more fear than I have ever felt.…
