Chapter 12 – Rejected and Getting Worse
I did what dad asked and said I was lying this caused my family to reject me they didn't understand how I could of done that and they said it was low even for me.
The teachers gave me counselling to 'help me' apparently as they thought I was crazy, it didn't help at all I still injured myself and now that dad had an hold over me it was getting much worse.
I was currently in the toilets, holding a lighter I rolled up my sleeve and burned my arm it was agony but it made my worries go away even if it was for a few seconds.
I had got into trouble for lying as well Campbell had made me write an essay about how abuse affects people's lives and how stupid it is to lie about it. I didn't have to research it at all it was all from experience.
Visiting my dad was horrible but at least I could keep an eye on him when I went to visit him, mum and him had made it up and my sisters liked him again too, whenever we went to visit he would stare at me the whole time to make sure I didn't say or do anything that would drop him in it.
And before we left at the end of every visit he would whisper the same thing to me
'Tell anyone again and you will be the one I am armed with next time'
He meant it as well, I knew he wouldn't think twice about doing it he also said he was the man of the house not me even though he was in prison.
I couldn't take it anymore I had to end it which is how I ended up on the roof.
