Imagine living in a home where you were not allowed to laugh, giggle, speak, or do the things most children take for granted. The sheer sound of my voice would send my grandfather into a frenzy. My grandmother would plead with me to be a good girl and be quiet. My grandfather was a violent and cruel man. He suppressed me, which had a profound effect on my development. According to psychiatrist children who are exposed to trauma and severe child abuse have smaller brains than children who are raised in loving environments. Most people I meet assume that I am backward, slow, or not the full shilling. I do have a difficult leaning, it takes me ages to learn the most basic things. My cousins were always trying to teach me to sew and knit. I was 16 before I could tell the time, it was so embarrassing. I would make light of my slowness but in my heart, I would be sad. People put me down, crush me, and try to break my spirit. most of the time it’s my own family. Lockdown would have had a devastating effect on me having to be with my brutal grandfather. Mental abuse can have a serious impact on vulnerable children. Teachers play a big part in reporting abuse to social workers, but in my day some of the teachers were beating us too. All of the abuse I endured was done right under the nose of social workers. Admittedly they didn’t have the training back then. Nothing much has changed in the last 60 years, there is still dishonest behavior in some social workers and carers alike. Lisa Brennan a carer fabricated a feedback report claiming she saw me groped my grandsons on a supervised visit. She later retracted her statement and the CPS threw the case out. I haven’t seen my grandchildren for over a year, because of her deceitfulness. I have asked the foster carer to encourage the boys to message me, he ignores me. I am sad about it, but I am positive, optimistic and confident in a bright future.
