Endured harsh punishments in isolation from "summary" of A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer
Enduring harsh punishments in isolation was a part of my daily life. I was forced to stand in the corner of the room for hours on end, my arms raised above my head until they ached with pain. I was forbidden to speak or move, left alone with my thoughts and fears. The silence was deafening, broken only by the sound of my own labored breathing. Even when I was allowed back into the house, I was treated as if I didn't exist. My mother ignored me, refusing to acknowledge my presence. I was isolated from my family, my friends, and the outside world. I longed for human connection, but all I received was cold indifference. The punishments were brutal and relentless. I was deprived of food and made to eat scraps from the garbage. I was forced to wear the same dirty clothes day after day, humiliated and degraded in front of my classmates. I was beaten and abused, my body covered in bruises and scars. Through it all, I clung to the hope that someday things would get better. I held on to the belief that I was not alone, that there was someone out there who cared for me. But as the days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months, I began to lose faith. I was trapped in a cycle of abuse, unable to escape the torment that consumed my life. The isolation only served to deepen my despair, cutting me off from any source of comfort or support. And so I endured, clinging to the faint glimmer of hope that someday, somehow, I would find a way out.
