I was sent to the mental ward. Why? (page 2)

what drwtsn32 said - ditto!

What a lame thing to say, as if you haven't suffered enough. Looks like you have toxic people all around you and need to get away if possible. Things will improve.

I'm thinking about you - hugs.

One thing about the psych ward that I haven't found in my family are actually a group of people who would care for me unconditionally and they're not judgemental. They attribute my feelings of depression for what it is. A disease that needs to be taken care of, not a "spiritual weakness".

"This is what you get when you go away from Jehovah."

Yeah, and these people made their own prophecy come true by their cult-like behavior........remember what happened when Jim Jones people tried to get away from him? He helped them kill themselves. Hon, I've been where you are, too! My ex, an elder still in good standing, remarried to a good JW woman, said the same thing to me five years ago when I began my process of breaking away from the Dubs and him. He even predicted I'd be in the gutter, without a penny to my name. The lifestyle was causing me severe, constant depression. I became depressed shortly after marrying him and stayed that way thru the whole marriage. I've done time with therapists and really slayed alot of emotional dragons, the WTBTS being one of them, with their conditional love. There are alot of great people out here, and especially on this site. I came here shortly after I got out too, and have grown to really love the people here. They know the whole range of emotions and thinking that goes with finally getting free from being oppressed by Dub thinking..........you will benefit greatly from the upbeat, wise, friendships and support you receive here. WELCOME!!! Stay and get to know us and let us get to know you, so we can help you!

(((hugs))) sorry to hear about your situation. been there, done that..although my family wasnt physically violent like yours they were abusive emotionally and mentally and i spent a week in a hospital due to the pressure and depression that goes along with being df'd.

you'll be a better person for this experience eventually. best thing you can do is start making plans and goals that do not include these abusive people. it'll be hard but worth it.

ColdRedRain,

You can pick your friends but not your family. Just because someone shares some of our genes doesn't mean we can expect much from them. That can be a liberator and take away some of the hurt the fellow gene-poolers can inflict.

I hope things get better for you----soon!

Warmly,

Pat

I can identify...all too well and, I am so sorry.

This sounds like how I grew up. I'm having physical reactions while trying to type. The abuse [physical, emotional and spirtitual] is devestating. I DO know and remember how this feels. Please get someone in your corner immediately, someone who knows what's going on. You are your mother's AND BROTHER'S DUMPING GROUND.

I hope for the best. We are here to help.
