How does the child feel when being abused?

In: Abused Children [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

A child who is abused by a parent feels confused, sad, depressed and has little control in their lives and doesn't understand what they have done wrong. They seldom will play with their peers; their grades slip if they are going to school and they may become sullen, moody and stay indoors most of the time (often because the abusive parents refuses to let them out of the house.) They try to please their abuser hoping that they will be loved as they should be, but no amount of pleasing will change their abuser's wrath.

If the child is sexually abused by a stranger or family member they feel ashamed, afraid to tell anyone and live a life of constant turmoil which follows them into their adult life.
