Comment on Facebook advertised a professional child kidnapping service to me

The funniest thing about my story is that it was kind of the reverse of the regular one. My mom was the wild one who die drugs, and was trying to keep me from noticing.

I wasn’t really “troubled.” I didn’t do drugs, I was a shy weird kid with good grades - I didn’t learn the word “blowjob” until we watched Why Did I Get Married as part of “group therapy.” My mom just was a munchausen psycho. The actual psychiatric hospitals she sent me to would pick up on that quickly, but these fucking places don’t care, they just want the cash.

Munchausen, oof… brutal, sorry you had to endure that as a kid. My wife is a children’s therapist, specializing in play therapy for traumatized kids. It’s definitely opened my eyes to how much misery in society could be dramatically reduced by simple early intervention in young children. So many problems in adulthood are rooted in untreated trauma. Anyway, I hope you’re doing well now, despite having to go through that gauntlet of a mentally unwell parent as a kid.

Also, very much agree that these places should absolutely be nationally outlawed.

Have you punched her in the mouth yet? Sounds like she has it coming.

  I’ve never been physically violent as a person, but that didn’t stop her from telling these types of fuckers I was. I don’t think I’ve ever punched anyone. I’ve told her exactly what I think about her a few times, and maybe the punishment is that she has to live with the knowledge that her child hates her.
  
  I cut off contact in my early twenties, briefly tried “maybe she’s better, maybe I was actually a crazy kid” (it is very hard to wrap one’s head around the idea that their parent deliberately hurt them) then discovered that she had lied about my biological father all of my life. That was the final straw.
  
  She is an insane monster. When I wake up and hear she’s gone, it will be like the clear skies after a rough storm.

    Save a bottle of champagne, if that’s the case. Pop the cork when the storm clears.
