There is a memory I have my mother which is a big incident where she made me out to look like I am stealing.

I had not stolen anything. I had to go to swimming for gym class, and my bathing suit had torn. My mother new this. So she hid her bathing suit because she said she knew I would try to borrow it. I tried to call her at work a few times to ask to borrow it but she wouldn't answer her phone. I had to miss out on gym class instead.

She said she was one step ahead of me on this and she knew what I was trying to do. She threw me out of the house for a couple of weeks. I lived in some neighbors basement who was freaked out that I got treated like this. My job tried to get me sent to foster care.

My mother let me back home, and then proceeded to control my environment so much I was not allowed anywhere. I was not allowed to stay after school, talk on the phone. She said I was to be kept this way for months for all the trouble I caused. A friend of my brother called me a couple months later, and invited me out. Like a responsible kid in a normal situation, i left my mother a note. I called her and left a message on where I was, a phone number etc. my mother refused to come home for days. She went to a friends, and stayed there because I was a horrible daughter. I conversely decided not to come home. My brother called me and threatened me, and called a f***ing a***hole, and other pleasantries.

I guess I am bad for not going home but I don't think I had fair or honest communication from my mother, or a sense of safety when I was home. I never knew what was coming around the corner. She just seemed to create and look for anything to make it out like I am victimizing her, despite how she treated me.

I ended up in the shelter system for youth for a while. I called her weekly, gave her an address, a phone number, and asked to come home.

She reported to everyone she had no idea where I was, and I distressed her with how bad I was. I have an aunt I dislike strongly who has always told me I was horrible to my mother for running away, and my mom has every right to be angry at me for how badly I treat her.

Hi Brave, thank you so much for sharing your very important story. I am sorry for all the pain you suffered and hopefully writing it down and sharing with us will help with your healing. Many times when we write things down we can see it from a clear perspective.

It is also hard when you are raise by a family who tells you and is quite good at least temporarily of convincing you that you are the crazy one in the deal.

This is a very important subject as we get lots of people too much in pain and fear to post and come to read only. It is important for people who have children to know first hand what the children go through if they share a house or visitation with a Psychopathic partner.
