In the Arms of an Angel,

After I watched a video posted by my cousin in facebook, my view in life changed.
As you all know, I'm very emotional. I easily cry when I saw poor children, abused, or working instead of studying. Last time, I told my friends that when I go to college, I will join organizations that helps poor and abused children. Being honest with you, I'm also a victim of abuse. I am mentally abused by my stepfather. It all started when I was in grade 5, 10 years old. He doesn't hurt me, but he always scold me and raising his voice. All things that I do is wrong for him, he wanted things to be perfect. He doesn't want to be disappointed, that's why he keeps on telling me what to do. That time, I have no rights to tell what am I feeling, or what I want to do. Because for him, every decision I made, is WRONG.

He always look at my weakness. Lower my self esteem. Never ever encourage me to pursue what I want. Doesn't support me, whenever I am joining competitions and contest. He is not aware & doesn't care of my feelings. He always chose things, even though I don't like it. He is Mr. Perfect. But, I'm so thankful because my Mom and Grandparents love me. After a year, there was a fight between my grandma and stepfather. I was very terrified when my mom told me about it. My mom and grandpa were trying to pacify them. I was in school when it happened. After a month, my stepfather moved to another place. And that was the end of my terrified and distressed life.
That experienced affect a lot in my personality. I am afraid to be rejected, and to fail. I also had a low self esteem. I don't believe in my self. I see things negatively. I became a cold hearted person..

But, I'm glad I have overcome those negative attitudes, and because of that experience, I am now more stronger and braver. I don't let anyone step over me. I fight for what I think is right. I do challenged myself. I'm not afraid to face the
consequences.

I found this heart touching stories of children that has been totally physically abused by their stepfathers and parents. This is a must see videos. After you watch this videos, you will realize how lucky you are to have your parents, and also your life. Be thankful, always tell your love ones how much you love them. Treasure every memories you had. Be thankful for the blessings that your receiving.

I still can't understand why there are people likes to hurt children. Children were born to be loved and cared. They don't deserve those kind of horrible life. They should be playing with their family, go to school.. They deserve kisses from their mom, hugs from their dad and love from them. We should realize how important they are, and how lucky we are:')
