What is your childhood trauma? | |

My mom doesn't remember it, but I remember almost every detail. I was 4 and lived in the same house as the story above. One day these 2 strange teenage girls came up to the door and asked my mom if they could take me for a walk. My mom said yes, which was really strange, because she was over protective, yet she let me go with these 2 girls. We walked a little ways down the road and they start slapping my face and forcing me to eat grass. They take me to this building at the end of the road which seems like a doctor's office. The room is dark, except for a dim light hanging from the ceiling. I see a man there and I think he must be the doctor. All I can remember is seeing the back of his bald head. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16344976 I don't remember what happened next. I don't remember leaving the place. My next memory is of the girls walking me back to my house. Once again, they're slapping my face and forcing me to eat grass. My nose was bleeding. I see my house and run inside. My parent's are sitting in the living room watching tv. I'm shaking and crying and I tell them what happened. There behavior was strange as they just sat there kind of like they were in a daze. I got upset that they wouldn't do anything, so I start yelling that I want Danny, the boy who saved me from the shed. My dad went and got him and he stayed with me for a little while. When I grew up, I went back to that road because I wanted to see that building again. There was no building. It was a dead-end street with grass and trees. It's really strange, because I know I didn't dream this. The whole thing haunted me for a long time. I talked about it for years after, but my mom has no memory of it. Sounds like a vivid dream, hallucination or some sort of drug trip, were you on medication at the time? Think it might be because of how you said your mom wasnt acting like herself, your parents dont remember the experience and the building wasnt there when you last saw it. And just sounds like a childhood nightmare more than an abduction experience. But do you know if Danny remembered when he came over that day? I am not a anonymous coward. |

User ID: 17911579 United States 06/15/2012 08:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I ran into a window when I was five. Caused serious nerve damage so I can't open my right hand. Quoting: LiT I often joke about being left handed living in a right handed world. But, like some other poster said... people have a lot of traumatic experiences. I think this one troubles me the most because I went through life never thinking it affected me until my second year in college studying medicine... and realizing, "holy shit, i can't be a fucking doctor." I dropped out and haven't been back since. Geez, how hard did you run into that window? Or did it break too? It was a storm glass window on a door. My cousin had teased me and I chased her through the living room. She ran out the door and when it swung shut behind her it latched. I put my arms out and they went right through, shattering the glass. Most of the damage was done when I pulled back, severing tendons and nerves. It was a bloody mess. My grandpa was out back and saved my life by keeping me awake and stemming some of the blood loss. I was wearing swimming trunks and black barn boots (lol). They were stained, and I don't think mom ever bought me another pair of rubber boots like those. Last Edited by LiT on 06/15/2012 08:42 PM |

User ID: 12582427 Canada 06/18/2012 11:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | At the age of 6 I was suffocating to death and there was no one to help me for what seemed a long time at the time.. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17944300 it was night time and I was in a dark bedroom with the door closed and I could NOT cry out because I could not breathe My mother rushed into the room ....and called the ambulance...she told me later my lips were blue and she was told by the doctors if she did not come just in a few minutes longer I might have died I spend 4 days in the hospital in one of those plastic tents I had croup really bad My mother swears something woke her up from a deep sleep and the first thought on her mind she said...was to get to my room... I had a cough for several days..... I still to this day CANNOT sleep alone with all the lights out in the house If my husband is at home ; I can ; but if I am alone; I have to have a light one Your story just goes to show that God has a plan for everyone, that nothing is random and all has order and purpose.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 13991648 Australia 06/18/2012 11:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sexual abuse by my pastor father and a mother who always seemed to be in bed and NEVER came out. Was home sick from school and Oprah came on. My mother never missed it. It was an episode about incest and my mother didn't want to watch it and changed the channel. I never dobbed on my dad because I was too scared no one would believe me and left home and the church as soon as I was legally able to say no more. My mother was dying from breast cancer 30 years later and had her head buried in the bible non stop and cried non stop. Wasn't til a week before she died when I was nursing her at home that she confessed at 3 am that she had known all alon but was too scared of the church scandal to speak about it. And apologised for not protecting me. I said don't worry about it it's in the past. I told no one what she had said to me until a few months later when my bro who I'm really close to came to visit. We had a few drinks and he said I'm kinda glad mum is gone and I said me too and told him what she had said. My 40 year old bro burst into tears and said dad abused me too. Everyone scattered and left us to talk. We decided then and there tha we had beautiful lives to live and we had to let it go. We have never spoken about it since that day and have got on with things vowin to b better people than our parents. And we have zero respect for religion. If you don't let things go it torments you and my life is wonderful now with no parents in it! |
