Description

This was originally designed to be a poster for child abuse awareness month. "Stop Abuse", "Stop Child Abuse" are what it is meant for.

The writing on the poster portrays a little girl who is bullied by her parents (yes, they do exist). She is the scapegoat (gang bullied by members of her family). She "walks on eggshells" around her family member's rages, she has low grades and can't concentrate in school (signs), her heart hurts, she feels as though she is a "nobody" and unloved, she is being taught to believe in all insults about herself (called "grooming"). She is also intensely sad and thinks about suicide.

Child abuse is a serious societal ill. Signs of child abuse are: neglect, verbal abuse (insults and name-calling), erroneous blaming, the silent treatment, being excluded from family events (isolation), scapegoating, being expected to compete with siblings for love and attention, goading and taunting, gaslighting, grooming and normalizing (to accept abuse), retaliatory parenting, parentifying, infantilizing, and many more ...

I write a blog about abuse. This piece was also used for that blog. The blog is called "Misadventures With Angry Alcoholics, Bullies and Narcissists":
