We never hear of evil violent women who abuse children!

It seems only men are deemed the perpetrators of such violence /abuse by our misandrist culture/society not women.

At the hands of my biological "mother" in Victoria, Australia I (the daughter) suffered horrific systematic consistent unprovoked physical, verbal and neglect abuse from the ages of toddler to my early twenties. I was a lonely child so a lack of witnesses applies. I was kept isolated. Mandatory reporting of child abuse did not apply.

She was arrested & interviewed by police for historical child abuse from toddler to young adult. I disowned my “mother” 3 decades ago.

She was a hideously violent vicious bitter malicious vindictive spiteful cruel malevolent woman who only beared me at the age of 18 for the purposes of obtaining the mother's pension, my father indicated this to me as a child, I was an unwanted child I was told. My father told me she did not love me and noted her abuse. She was a high-school dropout and never worked.

Unprovoked, since I was an infant 'til adult, she would frequently lash out and attack me, chase me around the home in bitter violent rages that came out of nowhere. I often had to run and hide in the likes of boxes, cupboards, wardrobes, pantries, etc to evade physical assault, this continued way into my adulthood.

My father was also on the receiving end of her violent wrath and venom, he became an alcoholic at this time, they divorced when I was young.

In brief overview I suffered:

• constant unprovoked physical attacks/assaults resulting in frequent bruising (ignored by primary school teachers), stabbings, puncture wounds, bleeding, kicking in stomach and legs, using household objects to assault me (lint brush, vacuum hose, sharp metal hair comb), chased with kitchen knives, smashing my head against the wall until bleeding, assaulting me repeatedly in my sleep, physically dragged to the front door to lock me out

• constant vicious verbal attacks including "(I hope you ) get bashed, bleed to death, go missing, get raped, get killed, you're better off dead, no-one want you, sitting there looking like you're persecuted, etc, etc

• threats including:

  • threats to kill me “I will have you killed”

  • "put you through what my parents put me through"

  • damage my property such as expensive hi-fi stereo system, music equipment

  • to burn my expensive academic university books

  • to call police and make false allegations against me that I pulled a knife on her

  • to call my university and have me pulled out of my degree course!

• Abandonment:

  • locking me out of home as kid and adult several times

  • abandoning me in public as toddler

  • not being collected after school and kept waiting alone for hours until my father finished work

• Neglect:

  • medical neglect, not being taken to doctor when urgently requiring so, losing consciousness

  • financial abuse (prevented me in obtaining Austudy by both my parents which I was entitled to I was advised)

  • told to starve

  • forced to bath in used bath water as toddler

  • left at home alone whilst she went out partying/nightclubbing around the age of 9

  • sleeping with bed bug infested beds

  • forced to bath in used bath water & left unattended in bath frequently

  • being told not to eat food

  • not cooked for on occasions even as a child

  • forced to reside in outdoor bungalow with no bathroom/heating amenities

  • forced to bathe in outdoor laundry trough during university studies

• False imprisonment:

  • preventing me from ringing the police during her fit of violent abuse

  • ripping landline phone cord out of the wall during my attempt to seek urgent help

• Other:

  • keeping me isolated from the few family members that were left

  • a boyfriend of hers physically assaulted me

  • a female ‘associate’ of hers who challenged/confronted my mother about child abuse my mother in turn lashed out and attempted to push this woman off the stairway, a physical altercation/ struggle ensued

• Theft of my personal prized valuable possessions such as:

  • sports ribbons/ awards, books, home decor

  • my private postal mail (and opening of, Commonwealth offence).

It seems only men are deemed the perpetrators of such violence/abuse by our misandrist culture/society not women. What's worse was this evil woman was not a drug addict and couldn't use the usual sob-story cop-out most perpetrators use to justify their actions.

She bitterly resented me making any progress & advances in my life, she attempted to thwart that, i.e. going to university. She indicated to me, "I'm going to put you through what my parents put me through”, she also suffered a horrific upbringing at hands of her parents and wanted me to suffer the same fate out of spite & malice.

Male & female victims of female violence must speak out to stop the myth that only men abuse!
