Denied basic necessities like food and clothing from "summary" of A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer
Imagine waking up every morning with an empty stomach, knowing that there is no food waiting for you. This was my reality. I would rummage through the garbage, searching for scraps of food to satisfy my hunger. My mother would often lock up the refrigerator, leaving me to fend for myself. I was denied the basic necessity of food, something that most children took for granted. Not only was I deprived of food, but I was also denied proper clothing. I would wear the same torn and tattered clothes day after day, enduring the mocking looks of my classmates. My mother would refuse to buy me new clothes, claiming that I did not deserve them. I felt ashamed and humiliated, standing out like a sore thumb among my peers. The lack of food and clothing took a toll on my physical and emotional well-being. I was constantly tired and weak, unable to concentrate in school. My classmates would make fun of me, further isolating me from any form of social interaction. I felt like an outcast, unworthy of even the most basic comforts. Despite my suffering, my mother showed no signs of remorse. She seemed to take pleasure in my misery, finding ways to further degrade me. I was trapped in a cycle of abuse, unable to escape from the clutches of my tormentor. The denial of basic necessities like food and clothing was just one aspect of the cruelty I endured on a daily basis. As a child, I struggled to understand why my own mother would treat me in such a cruel manner. I longed for love and affection, but all I received was neglect and abuse. The denial of food and clothing was just one manifestation of the deep-rooted hatred my mother felt towards me. It was a painful reminder of my worthlessness in her eyes.
