Physical Child Abuse?

This question is for anyone who has been abused as a child physically.
Do you have an energy level trapped inside you that unleashes when you feel pain?
Can you control your anger?

Thanks for sharing. I was a victim of child abuse and I'm here to tell ya that when you get the living day lights beat out of ya, you kind of hold that inside and that energy has to be released, but at least in a good way. So I have come along ways and my power to you all...thanks.

Yes it happens to me when angry. I can control and have disciplined myself, not to physically lash out at anyone. Only in self defense. Other then that I do not under any circumstance lower myself into hitting. But find it hard to control my tone, and the loudness of my voice. Also when angered I don't hold my tongue. I let them know exactly what I think. I understand where you are coming from. Do your best to control it rather then the anger control you. Because if one were to let go.. you'll end up in jail. I find that staying away from those who bring out my dark side helps. Be it family or whoever. Just remember the abuse that caused the problem is not ones fault but the abusers. As a child we were victims. Of those who instead of protecting us from harm were the ones to cause harm. I don't know how old you are. If under age seek help from authorities. If an adult also seek help. Don't let yourself be abused from no one. It is your human right to defend yourself. Since you are aware that you can get extremely angry that is your power to control it. I myself know, how it feels to want to hurt or lash out. At those who have harmed us. But if you can make changes not to be around them. Do it.

Thank you for sharing that. It is good to know that no one is alone. Report It

I didn't used to be able to control it=once I took an anger management course it is now a lot lot better

Yes! I was abused throughout my entire childhood. In ALL forms. I feel angry sometimes, but I don't feel like I have lost control of myself

I felt betrayed for a long time. Then I felt like it was my duty to help this person get better. Then I finally realized after maybe 10-15 years that it was not my problem , all this stuff builds character (everyone has been abused at SOME time in their childhood) and life is too short to dwell on something in the past. Look forward- each day brings another challenge or adventure. It is still very difficult to observe someone being abused in public. I have to turn away. Get involved and you could get hurt.

I am very good at controlling my anger in front of others. I can face some that I am livid with, and act perfectly calm and happy. So in that way I can control it, on the flip side, I have a really hard time expressing anger towards others.

Usually when I am angry I take it out on myself - so as not to hurt anyone else. This is of course dangerous, and I'm working on it. I hope this answers your question. :)
