my friends know im not mentally ill, i used to go to a college on a scholarship. im a smart, articulate and sophisticated girl, i used to go to many celebrity events.
i never had symptoms of mental illness ever in my life, no one ever thought i did. but my father used the psychiatric system on me before i was 18 he made private deals with private hospitals because he didnt want me at home. he told them crazy stories about me to get them to keep me, of course none of those stories were true.
if your under 18 and you have no parent or guardian willing to take you home , they must keep you in the hospital for long periods of time to find placement.
basically your parents can drop you off at a mental hospital and lie and by the time they figure its a lie you have no place to go so they need to keep you.

they played this game. then i turned 18 and my father got furious that he could not put me away again. he tried it on me again at 18 and he looked furious and screamed at the cops when he called the cops on me. the cops and ems showed up and they talked to me and figured out the situation and they told my father he could not put me away and that they could not take me since i was over 18… my father got furious and started to go to court to try to have me put away but he failed each time. he didnt like that i wanted to attend college
hes jealous if i have a boyfriend, friends, career ambitions, he tried to put my sisters away for nothing and ruin their careers, he dosnt believe women should go to college or better themselves, so he didnt want my older sisters going to college, they went anyways against his wishes

anyhow fast forward a few years and while i was in college i got hurt seriousely and could not walk anymore, i almost died. i ended up in the hospital with almost half the bones in my body broken. the doctors thought id end up in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. i suffered heart complications from it. i almost was dead and even after i had to monitor myself with the cardiac problems.i have severe chronic pain still from the injury, and it took me years to learn to start to walk again without losing my balance or holding onto a walker. and i still have alot of trouble walking., i walk bent over and still lose my balance alot, i cant run like i used to,i have trouble going up and down steps or walking down a street. even bending down causes more pain. i have severe pain every day, its a chronic pain 24 hours each day. it never leaves and it always gets worse certain days or certain times of the day. its really hard and im still trying to recover physically, i take pain killers but they dont help. i cant work right now and im in poor physical condition,i cant go back to school in this condition. even getting in and out of bed is hard, going up steps is hard, showering and dressing takes me a very long time,. im trying to regain mobility in my arms also. my parents do not have the ability to help me at all so they havent helped me once, i have had to hire a home aid to come and help me but as i gained some mobility back i told them i didnt need them because i am emebarrased to rely on anyone. i want to keep integrity.
i have bad health problems and i still have trouble walking and the pain prevents me from doing most things. i cannot drive either because of this.my life is stunted because of it. socially and academically anf financially.
my father beat me weeks after i got hurt and he made the situation worse and i had worse trouble because of him, he also broke more bones of mine. i wanted to press charges on him and have him arrested but i didnt know what to do. the cops were not very nice to me and they told me that since i had a "history of being involved with mental health" that i couldnt press charges for what he did even tho i showed them the bruises. i think the cops lied to me to make their jobs easier. they dont like to put up with my father, he screams at cops and is tough and annoying and demanding. he makes threats. maybe they are afraid he will sue them.. do not know.

anyways, he beat me and has made death threats to me. he kept going to court against me to try to make me a ward of the state. a person cannot become one just because they have a physical injury. it has to be a mental one.
he eventually did because i was on bedrest and didnt have money for a lawye
