Speaking from personal experience i can say it completely changes you from the inside out. You feel sadness, empty, lonely (because you think no one understands), angry, bitter, ashamed, worthless,dirty... And the list goes on and on. You feel betrayed and lost. If the abuse was over years then you would feel close to your abuser. You hate yourself because you think you should have done something or said something but you didn't because you were to young to know what sex was or how precious it was until you lost if forever. You say nothing because now your to far into it and felt to ashamed to say anything or someone found out and you felt ashamed because now everyone knows your secret that was suppose to be between you and your abuser. They say things like "don't tell anyone, it's our little secret" and you don't because you don't know any better but they do. Children can become abusers, stuck in whatever age he or she was abused. They can become promiscuous, detached, unable to have healthy adult relationships with the opposite sex. Afraid to be near the opposite sex. Inability to be touched, show affection to others and emotions. If your family was anything like mine, they pretend nothing happened and move on while you suffer on the inside. Cry on the inside and smile on the outside. Child abuse can make you contemplate suicide, but not always.

How does physical abuse effect children?

It depends if the child itself was or is being abused, they will either forget it or remember it. 80% of children who were abused, still remember being abused. Physical abuse effects children by making them feel slightly depressed, or feel like they have to pretend to be normal. The 80% of children who recall being abused say they never talk about their feelings of their abuse or sadness, and say that they became so depressed, they began to have suicidal thoughts. Physical abuse can effect the child in a different way if its one of the parents being abused. For example, if the mother was being abused, the child would feel as if their mother were weak, or be afraid to talk with the mother. If the father were abusing the mother, the child would be afraid to have any contact with the father.
