In 1988, my mother had m placed in a mental institution. AMA

She was in a relationship with a man who abused my sister and I. When we told her she didn't believe us and not too long after, I started acting out and running away.

She placed a Pins warrant out on me and eventually tricked me into being placed in a mental institution. 9 months later, I was placed in a residential treatment facility, which is now closed.

She had no intention of removing me.

Even when I graduated and went home it was terrible

There was a nurse who saved me and forced me to participate in social activities so I could leave. Yes, it was unethical. However, if it didn't happen, who knows how long I would've been there.

I have 5 other siblings, and none of them speak to me because they are embarrassed

They all have dual degrees and are very book smart

I had a horrible education and still feel behind.

Im.naturally inclined towards reading and writing. However, I struggle with math.

I eventually earned an Associates degree. I hopped around to quite a few Basehor programs and never finished because I just dont know which one suits my skilkks

Im.in the process of reteaching myself math

Im almost 50 years old, and yes, I still harbor resentment because I feel she sabotaged me.

Unfortunately, I still crave her attention, but the feeling is waning. I am disrespectful at times.

She refuses to take full ownership of her behavior.
