My mother tried to kill me in a car accident when I was 12 years old because I asked the dry cleaning clerk if I could have a lollipop. My mother became so enraged at me as we drove home from the dry cleaners that she drove through a stop sign and we were hit by a garbage truck. I went through the back wind shield face first and she had to be pulled out of the car with the jars of life. I believe either she was tring to kill me (the car was hit on the passenger side where I was, but evidently I hopped into the back seat) or she was trying to kill us both, or she simply endangered my life (and hers) and it should have been felony child abuse. Maybe she was deliberately trying to kill us both. After the accident she kept saying "you don't remember the car accident, do you?" and it was true that I did not...but I did remember what happened BEFORE the accident, although I never told her or anyone. I should have. The problem is, foster care is sometimes no better. Children are killed in foster care too. In retrospect maybe I should have just waited until I was 18 years old, left home and never went back, never looked back, never grieved for her or the loss of family and tried to build a life entirely without them. One thing leads to another. It has been a series of abusive relationships. The best thing, in retrospect, would have been to go to college, not get pregnant or married until maybe I met someone good for me. That is not what happened. I am 48 and still suffering the consequences. I should have left home at 18 and NEVER LOOKED BACK.

What is the positivist thought on child abuse?

I personally was abused for a while as a child and I didn't get anything "positive" out of it. But it did make me think when I was older not to treat others that way. Guess it was lucky because brutality does breeds brutality. If I had to say one thing positive about child abuse, it would be...nothing. Its a terrible thing to have to go through. If someone else has a "positive" thing to say about child abuse I would love to hear them try and say it. Without them having to think twice about it anyways...

You are doing editorial writing but you need a catchy phrase and your topic is- Should drug abuse by pregnant women be considered child abuse?

Not sure what you are looking for, some are light hearted, others are not. For your consideration... "Intrauterine Child Abuse, is it for you?" "No thanks, I prefer Intrauterine Child Abuse" "Mold your child's destiny with Intrauterine Child Abuse" "Is it abuse if you cannot see it happening? Intrauterine Child Abuse and you" "Parenthood begins at inception" "Help to stop abusing your baby today" "The drug abusing you is abusing your baby too" "Protect your child from abuse before birth" "Mommy, please help me. It hurts so bad!" "Are you okay with the drugs abusing your child too?" "Would you let him treat your child that way?" "If someone else did to my child what I am doing, I would kill them" "Drug related Intrauterine Child Abuse is real"
