Can you overcome something this serious?!

When we think of child abuse we automatically think of physical abuse. Well that is not all child abuse is; child abuse can be physical, verbal or sexual, ect, and is preformed by an adult. (turtledove) Whether a child is physically, verbally or sexually abused it causes the child to have mental damage. When a child is emotionally abused the best thing to do is get help; the child needs to talk to a professional about what has happened in the past. And whether or not they want the memories to come back they do! When trying to overcome the past of being abused, one has to realize that it is not their fault; the abuser had their own problems and went about it the wrong way! It is important for a child to get rid of the hurt and the memories! No this is not an easy task, but the child needs to find someone that cares about them and that is willing to hear the stories and help the child move on. When a child has been emotionally abused they have been called many thing such as, worthless, stupid and dumb. The child has to realize that none of those word are true! And the last but probably the most hardest one yet, is to forgive their abuser. The child most forgive the abuser so they can move on. This is not an easy task and may take years to achieve. Forgiving someone for their actions will free you; it makes your abuser have no more control of your life.
