I spoke to a psychiatrist for awhile. Though, not through any will of my own. I tried to kill myself about a year after I left the family and when you do this you have to speak to one to prove to him that your, “no longer a danger to yourself” and end up getting locked up. Over all it generally wasn’t a good experience as I was too worried about getting locked up forever and as they had me dosed up with tranquilizers and antidepressants I felt like I was losing my grip on reality even more then before. They also tried to get me to take legal action by filing a report with the police but as my case involves my step dad I refused to do it as as much as I hated his guts, he was still the father of my younger brothers and sisters and was not a danger to them anymore as they are separated and they didn’t need to find out about this part of him.Also he has recently apologized for his part in it. He said that he thought that what he was doing was right as everyone was doing it and he was trying to provide me with a sexual education. – HA a sexual education that started at 7!Anyway, I tried to log onto the Movingon. Org but although I can read everything posted I can’t contact anyone as it wont let me sign in????
