Do you know anybody who has significantly affected your life, somebody whom you worry about and wish you could change? Who? Write several paragraphs about that person and your relationship.

There are many different people who have affected my life but there is only two I worry and wish I could change.
My mother was a wonderful women don't get me wrong but she sat there and ignored my struggle growing up. From the time I can remember till I was 14 I was being beaten, raped, and molested by her husband (my Step father "Steve"). My mother didn't have the strenght enough to leave even though she knew about my abuse and everything else and she herself was being abused by him. I wish I could have just given her the strength to leave him instead of enduring all that pain and making me go through it as well.
I wish I could change my brother most of all. My brother was young when my mom died and then he was kicked out. He also knew about everything my mother and I were enduring but he chose not to bother him and he would often leave the house. Now my brother is almost 30 and to this day he still won't talk about my mother. He will not even touch the subject and when I bring it up, he shuts me out and changes the conversation. I wish I could show my brother that he's not a bad guy and by expressing any feelings about my mother isn't going to to make him look weak in any kind of way.
Steve effected my life in so many ways its hard to comprehend. He beat me for no reason making me think that I was always wrong and insignficant. He raped me and molested me to the point, where I see sex as a chore and not something fun or exciting. He called me so many names pulling my self esteem down the tubes, and making me think that I was "stupid" and that "the dog's smarter than me" and that "my mother doesn't/never loved me". He's made me so paranoid about men and have PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), that I got discharged from the Army because I blacked out everytime I was yelled at by a male Drill Sergeant. He tore apart my family and denies every minute of it. I went to school with black eye's and blue handprints on my face!!! I lived off the streets for two years because he refused to help me even though he put me through all that! If I could go back or if I could change him at all, I'd either kill him or stick him in jail so he knows what its like to be held down and have somebody else stick it to him!
I'm sorry everybody
