I might not know you, however by looking at this, your a strong person for going through all this shit. I can not even imagine going through that much abuse, I can only relate slightly to a summer of abuse at 10. =/

You brave chica, you have such a bright look on life from what I've read in the comments. I have some scars similar to yours, and it makes me feel good to see another survivor pulling through life.

You are so brave for putting this on here. It's taken me a long time just to mention to others on dA that I have scars, much less where they are.
Not to sound cheesy, but this is really inspiring.
You are awesome.

i have DID and many many scars.
all from abuse and self-harm, and getting into fights.
i grew up in a really shady town.
it's a pain isn't it?

.. this is so difficult. I normally would not reply (anymore). Just because I'm sure off to saying something stupid or unfitting.
I really hope that things now change - or have changed - for you and that you will be able to feel good and save ... .

I hope you don't get any more scars TT_TT you've gone thru h*ll, horrible, horrible h*ll. I hope you have a nice future and aren't hurt anymore ;___;

I hope so too. But my scars are part of me now, as is my past. My past made me who I am, and taught me much about life.

You are 22, I asume you aren't around them anymore, or do you plan to take care of your parents when they are old O_O? I seriously wouldn't get why someone would do that if your parents treated (I think I spelled it wrong) you like that.

My parents chucked me out when I was 15... (well 2 weeks before I was 16) since then I have had 2 occations when I have moved back in, but I now do not even live in the same city. I have to get in touch with them for student loan applications, but they used that as leverage to manipulate me into things "do X or we won't sign" "come to visit or we won't sign" "give us money or we wont sign", etc... I have now dropped out of uni though so I do not need them for that, so I am now free! and in the summer my partner and I are moving to a new city, so they won't even be able to find/contact me after that
so I am nearly free

o.o how did you live alone at 15? and wow, they used you -_-; yay, you don't leave near them 
nearly?

I ended up on the streets, and then a friend of a friend offered me his second flat (so in essence became my landlord) he then told me I had to date him to be allowed to stay there, and mmoved in... I kind of thought "meh, what's the harm" in a real nieve way... but he ended up being about as bad as my parents... (i.e. the scars on my back)
Well I am basically free... but my mum still knows where I live and I won't feel totally freee/safe until she doesn't (so once we've moved)

GOSH, where did you live?! Sorry, it's ust that, crap, I hate the fact that people like those exist in this world can't they just disapear? The world would be a better, and maybe less populated, place.
Maybe you should live in japan or somewhere were your mother wouldn't pay tickets to go to and calling you would waste a lot of money?

"it takes all sorts to make a world" or however the quote goes... I just sem to attract the unsavoury types... I have a overview of my life story in my gallery somewhere, though it's probably out of date as I have big chucks of my memory missing and it sort of comes back in bits from time to time (the fun of having DID lol)
I can't speak Japanese or that could be a plan

What's DID?
How about ... Alaska? Europe? Do you know spanish? You can always learn a new language
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
DID is dissociative identity disorder. Basically it's what used to be called multiples personality disorder. There are 8 of us in one body
I can speak French, so could go there lol, and my partner can speak German, so guess we could go there... Ooo choices
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wow ... that's a lot of people.
you can go to France then

oh my god, you've been through hell! I cant tell just by looking at you and the stories from each scar, it makes me so sad...are you ok?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
meh, I'm getting there. Not sure I really know what "ok" really is lol. but I'm getting better as time goes on 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, thats good to hear. I'm still in the process of healing too...
stabbed by your own mother?! and raped?? sheesh, thats horrible

my mum is a bit "odd"... but she chucked me out at 15, so meh to her lol

I can laugh at mine because it's me, but I don't like seeing 'abuse' on other people's.

I've added some annotations now as i noticed other people had lol.
I guess in a way it makes my body tell my life story... ll my scars are part of me now, they used to remind me of bad things, but now they remind me that I got through that so can get through anything
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't like these annotations at all. Before, I could imagine that your scars were from someone accidentally doing something, now I can't. Blaaaah.
Yeah, I guess that's true.

This is a lot of scars! I am sad that you have so many bad things happened. 
I only have a few, mostly from bike crashes
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
bike crashes are painful though... I've only been in a couple and luckily never got too hurt lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, actually, let me think...
o_O And a few more from insane cats biting/scratching me, as well as some more bike crashes.

I think this is really brave of you to post this

I have a bit of a love/hte thing with my scars... on one hand I totally believe that it kept me alive at points, but on the other hand I look at the damage and sort of despair...
I don't hide them though. I don't see why I should, as you say they are part of us. And I feel that taboo and stigma are REALLY damaging and I hope that in showing that I am not ashamed I can help (in sme small way) to remove the taboo a little

I know what you mean about wanting to help people, I love to help people in any way I can - it's what I live for. I'm sure one day I'll be able to wear short sleeved jumpers without feeling self concious, but that day has yet to come
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It will come one day

I commend you for posting something like this. I've seen this meme floating around dA now, but I haven't the courage to post my own.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
One day you may be able to.
I just want to do my bit to remove the stigma by showing that I am not ashamed and don't care what others think. And also to mayybe show a few the consequences of self-harm and maybe put them off ever starting it....

goodness, were you really abused that much? poor girl

I also scar fairly easily... so it probably looks worse than it was
