Child Abuse Survivors Online Support Group

Hi, I am sure some of you know that I have been hiding for awhile. It is cause I have been hurting inside and did not want to let it out. I was chatting with my mom one day on facebook. I was really vunerable, and I asked her why she was so mad at me. She told me that I do not respect her and that I am exactly like my dad. That really made me depressed. I was so sad. Most of my supports were on vacation and I could not call the crisis line that knows me. The line was not open on that day. I just called 911 and everyone and there best friend came to get me. I was so embarassed cause there is a guy that came that is on my facebook. When I was in the ambulance they gave me some oxygen to breathe with cause I was hyperventaliting. Everyone came out of there apartment buildings and checked what was going on. I told one of the ladies to go back to her house cause I have major issues with her. She is rude and thinks she is better than anyone.

I got to the hospital and it was the last bed in the unit. My fiance came to visit me everyday I was there. He said that he realizes that I am fragile. When I got out of the hospital, I had to go to a house to wait for my ride and my psychiatrist did not give me any refills for my psych meds, and I had to go back to an ER. The doc refilled them. When I was in the house, my fiance came to visit me everyday and I got to hang out with him. He bought me some clothes that were nice. I have noticed that I have lost more weight. When I got back I seen my mom and she was wanting to know everything. I was strong again and did not put up with her what so ever!! I told her I can not talk to her and she can not call me. I called her for some help and she did not want to help me. So she is without me. Hugs, Brendy

I'm sorry it go so bad, but I'm extrememly proud of you that you stood up for yourself. Way to be the adult forget the "failure" and focus on celebrating the success!

Wow Brendy. It was a lot for you to go through, but it seems you showed strtenght you didn't know was there.

Glad you were smart enouth to call for the calvary and get your help you needed. And you found out who was real friends and who were just there for the good times.

You done good. Now to get yourself a cookie.

Awesome, Brendy! It takes a very strong person to admit that you need to be admitted, and follow through with what you need to do in order to achieve what you have! You have done yourself a great justice & standing up to someone that you need to the way that you have is very difficult indeed. Hold your head high & be proud that you have honored yourself. I'm glad you're back, sweetie. Stay strong!

Thats great Brendy! I too know the embarresment of feeling paraded in front of the public when making the trip to a hostpital after a cry for help. Its a decision that takes a lot of courage and strength to make, and bieng able to make it is a triumph you should be proud of

Standing up for yourself against your mom is also courageous and a moment worth celebrating for yourself.

Go celebrate, you did great and handled yourself wonderfully. You are lucky to have a very caring fiance too, sounds like a true keeper.

By the way I am Alicia and am pretty new so I havn't had the chance to meet you yet

Congradulations
