Xtina Opens Up About Abuse
Posted on Tue Sep 22, 2009 11:15 AM PDT
Christina Aguilera opened up to E! in a new doc about the abuse her family suffered at the hands of her father when she was a child.
"I witnessed a lot of unpleasant things - a lot of pushing and shoving and fighting and quarreling," Christina told the net. "Growing up I did not feel safe. Feeling powerless is the worst feeling in the world. I turned to singing as an outlet. The pain at home is where my love for music came from."
Christina's talked vaguely about her abuse in the past, but her mother detailed a horrific incident that resulted in Christina's chin being bloodied, which eventually led the family to flee from Aguilera's father, Fausto.
"I scooped her up and said, 'Oh my God. What's wrong?'" Christina's mom Shelley told E!. "She told me, 'Daddy wanted to take a nap and I made too much noise.'"
Christina tried to reconcile with her father as an adult, but found his presence wasn't "necessary in my life."
At least she has a wonderful and supportive family now!
