Family locked me up in Mental Ward

Postby lightbearer » Wed May 14, 2014 4:16 pm

Hi. :(
After a day of sadness, I started pulling my hair and slapping myself in the face. ( a fairly new development ) . I was upset that I was at the end of my college funds and I asked mom if I could borrow money to see the Doctor. She said yes ( I always pay them back ). Then my father who had dementia called and started getting mad and telling me that he was not going to pay for me to go and see my grandchildren ( who live in the same town as my Dr. ) I tried to explain to him that they were in the same town and he would not listen so I just said calmly " Dad, I can't talk to you like this and argue with you, I will talk to you later." And I hung up the phone.
I waited about ten minutes and called to ask my mom why dad was so upset with me, my brother then took the phone from mom and put it on speaker phone, and I don't know why he would except that mom and dad exagerate (sp) things. So I told mom she was the only one I could turn to and the rest of the family doesn't really care. ( I have 6 brothers and sisters ). Then I started crying and told her sometimes I want to slap my face and pull my hair and I didn't think I could take it anymore, and I felt like taking my life sometimes. Well the whole family who heard the conversation, and most of them heard it, said that I said "I'm going to gouge my face with scissors and cut off all my hair".
The problem is I don't remember saying that at all and I swore to the police officer and to my family that i didn't say those things.
Was I in an altered state? Or could I have been railroaded?
I promise on my grandchildren's lives that I remember saying that I was going to slap my face and pull my hair, not what they said. Is there any way to get a phone recording from the phone company or something so I could have some peace of mind and know what happened?
And if I am in an altered state like that, what could someone do to or say to bring me out of it?
Any help would be so very appreciated.
Thank you,
Lightbearer

I'm so sorry this has happened to you. Sometimes I mean to say things and an alter takes over and says other things that I don't remember, so it could've been an alter. I'm not sure exactly how to pull yourself out of the switch, but I know that if you're ever co-con with an alter, you can ask them not to say certain things or listen to what they have to say and speak for them so they don't feel the need to say it themselves.... I know this wasn't much help. I'm mainly here to say, I read your post and I'm thinking about you. I hope things get better.

My dad is my abuser, and he's a monster. He also somehow trained my sister into becoming a monster, and when they come out, they will do something to you. I made the mistake of engaging them in some weakness, and they did put me in the mental hospital. It wasn't until I stood up to him, and showed him myself as a monster that he did back down from that. I believed however that he would kill me for that, but he didn't.

I'm sorry this isn't a helpful answer, Lightbearer. But most countries I believe it's against the law for phone companies to record calls [unless there's a legal reason and the police have gone through due process in advance to do so.]

That seems like such a stressful situation. How are you feeling about it today?
We think too much and feel too little.

 More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.

Thinking of you and sending hugs if you want them.

Sounds like a difficult time. You're parents may have lied to the police knowing that they will only do something like put you in hospital - in certain criteria. They may have been at the end of their road with knowing what to do and may have felt it was the only option they had left. I was going to say I hope you remember what you did say, but then if you are remembering correctly - we hope that you find that out too one day.

You could record all your conversations and phone calls. Would that be enough evidence for you?

Does your extended family have a history of lying?

if you did threaten suicide, then your emergency hospitalization was appropriate.

I hope you are feeling better!
