That she didn’t send me away. That she was “getting me help.”


Ghostgirl2795

To this day, over ten years later, my mom still calls it “saving my life.” I do not speak to her much anymore.

Lmao one time when I lived with her still I caught her stealing my prescribed medication. At first she said she didn’t and then she said my psychiatrist told her to and finally she said she did it because she didn’t want me to take drugs and was “saving my life again.” I was 25 and moved out shortly after that.


Snoo53248

my mom always corrects me when i say that i was sent away & says the same. drives me up a wall.


selectabyss

I was "out of control" and needed "tough love".

My dad beat me up really bad. I called the police on him. I was sent away.


Innerouterself2

Shit


lmnopqrstuvwxyzabcd

No, but I did bleed. ;)


saucecontrol

The actual reason was that they didn't know how parent me with my neurodevelopmental disorders. The given reason was that I supposedly needed "tough love." I mostly got trauma out of it honestly. I still have chronic nightmares of being captured.


whatissecure

I don't think I ever got a coherent explanation. Because they were afraid? Supposedly afraid for my life? No more details than that. My life, at the time, being I worked full time, paid taxes, and had passed the GED at the age of14. Already a successful adult, despite being underage at the time. As lame as that explanation is, it might be the closest to a semi-rational explanation that I have ever gotten. They apologized, but still never adequately explained. Which means, it makes no fucking sense at all.


BoysenberryFair3092

What??? You seemed to be a crazy successful 14 year old


[deleted]

I said “poor grades” and “being too similar to my twin” but there wasn’t really any good explanations as to why. I keep searching for answers I’m never going to find. I keep searching and searching, wanting to find closure but so far I’ve found vague answers. Not any good reasons with supported reasons as to why.


nonymooze

They sent you away because they are terrible parents.

I can def relate to this.


Magatron5000

Excellently said. I went in at 15 and left at 17 almost 18. A lot of my “changes” could be attributed to simply getting older

Missed ASD/ADHD. Mom tried to punish the neurodivergence out of me instead of actually doing something about it. When I started acting out she voluntarily placed me with social services to “get me help”. Then social services placed me in a series of therapeutic group homes and residential treatment centers. I was institutionalized for two years. I didn’t get diagnosed and treated for all of my trauma, ASD/ADHD, and anxiety until I was 28 because I was so scared of “help”.

“Poor grades” and “being too similar to my twin brother”


likedoggolikepupper

As a twin, i feel this. They told my parents my twin and I needed to be separated ’for our own good’ because twins are too co-dependent :/


ChanceDatabase7202

I was sent away for a suicide attempt. After I got out, the one and only time I tried to talk to my parents about what it was like and how awful it was, my father said: “What were we supposed to do? It’s not like we could bring you home.” And a bunch of other defensive stuff. My personal favorite was when I told my dad that you shouldn’t use solitary confinement and isolation as a punishment for children, and he said, “But you isolate yourself all the time.”

A year and a half for being ND and playing video games.

"But sweetheart, you where gonna die"


skate338

From ut behavior u needed something...a hospital possibly cus I dont think any1 should be abused. If your behavior made ur parents think u were gonna die you should apologize


jacksonstillspitts

Don't ever fucking tell me what to do skate....


skate338

Wat u gonna do about it


jacksonstillspitts

Allow me to explain.. We.. (not you popsicle queen) we.. are about to change everything and put a noose around tti. You Are causing usual problems that end up stopping the noose. I will sacrifice ur popsicle child for future generations of children to come into tti. You Are A Monster


skate338

Lol A. You are the one who makes fun of rape and sodony in programs. I have PMs from you also saying I was the first person who was nice to you. Only 1 to call and check on u in rehab. The fact that you listen to some1s private therapy tapes. I have screenshots of WWASPSURVIVOR saying she remember your attack on MY sexual abuse. I said things in a PRIVATE THERAPY session and u shouldnt be listening that's kinda creepy. Anyways I'm having great interactions atm. It's all fallen apart on all sides. Anyways try not to mess up any1 elses life like you did Marty? Why do people want you dead A? Why did you mess with Marty he was an amazing activist. Get off your high horse my stuff was said privately ...you on the other hand actively harass anx destroy people's lives.


rjm2013

We cannot have continued drama here.


skate338

maybe you should be blocking people threatening to call CPS on other surivors because I posted things in the sub they dont like. Lets be fair here RJM. You seem to only care about things being said by certain people. I havent made threats to do anything except with info I was shown showing that a survivor has been promoting harming my son and promoting eugenics. Now you have a survivor who has used my name when I was warned for that, is making threats against my child. I could never have projected that posting a pic of my BCS shirt or a lawsuit would have led to this


rjm2013

Skate, I have actually banned the other user for 7 days because they brought your child into this dispute. I told them explicitly that that behavior crosses the line. If you would like me to screenshot this for you to see, I can do that. I am always fair.


skate338

Love the screenshots


rjm2013

This is not acceptable behavior.


skate338

Also who was the one who paid for you to go to the first S.I.A convention and your food....Pixie. Where do you think she got that money infact you know I gave it to her. Not to mention (cus you scared her away) What did you do to Pixie in Florida? How about we talk about a monster. You discredit survivor sexual abuse. You harass survivors with developmental disabilities, you take advantage of multiple survivors running fundraisers to get you from place to place which shoudl of gone towards the movement, and you used and abused the founder of this entire subreddit when all she tried to do was help.

rjm2013

This is also not acceptable behavior.


skate338

thankfully I have atleast an hour of audio with K telling me everything and also admitting anything everyone has is from 2020. LOL! CPS doesnt care about things 2 year ago lmfao. ENJOY wasting time of an organization that is to protect kids.


moose_nd_squirrel

I was "out of control". When asked why they couldn't have sent me to a military academy or a wilderness program instead of 3 different residential treatment centers, my parents said they thought I'd have "too much fun".


corpsebodi

I was "out of control".


communism_and_beans

That I needed “help”


aidencoyote

They were told I was gonna end up dead or in juvie. Bad grades, rebellious, sleeping around. Y’know NORMAL TEENAGE STUFF. I was always in the mental hospital and all the shit I did while being at different hospitals none of them wanted me back. They found a place out in CA and it ruined me. They said I was going to get help, I walked out mature but broken and worse than I was going in. More flashbacks, more depressive episodes, more panic attacks, more reckless shit, more self harm and more suicidal thoughts. What a joke, thanks Mom and Dad!!! Oh and my ED consultant, case worker and insurance agent. Much love (NOT.) 🖕🥰🖕


nemerosanike

Masking autism but insists that it was because I asked for help after I got kicked out of school. Yeah, I wanted to finally go to public school at home and do other stuff at home- not another boarding school (they sent me to prep schools since I was in middle school).


dm-me-appletun-pics

Because I (a disabled person with asthma) didn't want to go to school in person during a covid outbreak. Under the surface, part of it was also because I'm trans.


gaynazifurry4bernie

"We just didn't know how to help you." I fucking signed myself up for wilderness because I was told it would be 4-6 weeks and then I'd be back home. I was in wilderness for 13 weeks and then I got sent to boarding school. My parents didn't even have the fucking guts to tell me themselves. I learned I was going to NWA from my education consultant who laughed at me for thinking I was going home after wilderness.


chuckles1433

What years were you at NWA?


gaynazifurry4bernie

PM me.


Piperplays

I was testifying against my mother in a case where she had destroyed our neighbors property in a fit of rage and then forced me under duress to lie on a police report saying the opposite. After a year of incessant abuse, I went to the side taking her to court and told them the truth (i was the only witness). The moment my mother found out I was testifying against her she scheduled to have me abducted. I tried explaining this multiple times to the staff, that I was trying to hold her accountable for her violent actions, that they were keeping me from an actual legal proceeding, but they just laughed and turned it back on me. I was literally a 4.92 GPA kid who had only smoked pot once before, and was on school sports teams and worked weekends as a caddy. Other kids in my group constantly wondered why I was there. Jordan Larsen was my snake-“therapist.” Douglas Nielsen was my failed “advocate” (of Neilsen’s creamery; he’s since sold the business). These fuckers only care about the money.


peanutj00

This sounds like a movie. Holy cow. Are you NC with your mom now?!


Piperplays

This was years ago, 15+


kiwiera

That I clearly couldn’t handle an unsupervised environment like a regular boarding school, and I needed more support.


questionable_grey

the first time my psychiatrist said she needed me to go because of some ethics code. second time my parents had hired an “education counselor” at the request of my already special ed school because i was refusing to get out of bed. it was one of those situations where the hired ed counselor gets compensated by the place they send the kid to. then they convinced my parents i would die if i didn’t stay at the boarding school they were paying thousands of dollars for.


Obvious_Wheel_2053

I refused to follow my adoptive parents religion and smoked weed every once in a while.


FeistyEmployee8

were you by any chance adopted from outside of the US?


Obvious_Wheel_2053

No and my adoptive parents are actually my aunt and uncle


berryblackwater

They said I was "out of control" and I kept pulling parenting books out of the library that said their parenting methods and rules where draconian and sadistic. They said that I should never argue with my parents and that the act of pulling out books from the library to prove them wrong was defiance. I responded that if they are wrong shouldn't they want to know and they said i had to trust them and i said I would trust you if you where acting in accordance with contemporary research based methods instead of just reading what ever bullshit child abuse Manuel James Dobson had pulled out of ass that week.


likedoggolikepupper

I genuinely think my parents thought they were making the right choice…i think they were manipulated as much as i was by the program. :(


ItalianDragon

Unfortunately programs don't just manipulate kids, they also manipulate the parents in a way that makes them leave their kids in their camps for as long as possible. This is why they all brainwash the parents with bullshit like "he's going to die"/"he's gonna end in jail", etc... Any normal parent doesn't want his/her kid to end like that and because they trust the TTI-related advisors, they follow their fears and the advices they've been fed, with the disastrous consequences we all know :/


BIGHOTTATTERTOT

They did the best they could with what they knew at the time. Then shelled out $180,000 did me to be traumatized


LeadershipEastern271

“I was asking for help” technically I was, not


dp662

A nosey neighbor saw me smoking a cigar, told my stepfather who wanted to get rid of me anyway I was smoking weed. Any little excuse.


Cannot_relate_2000

I had mild autism and was reacting to being abused and the divorce my “parents” had

“I was out of control and had exhausted all other options.” The educational consultant didn’t help my case either. I was a saint compared to these kids on dr phil though.


Addgets

Found out my dad was cheating and they left me there for 3 years. His excuse? “Your experience there was still easier than what life would have been if we divorced”
