At age 11, I kidnapped a 6 year old neighbor, just so I could have a friend. Then I was sent away.
When I was around 4 years old, I would witness my father being physically and emotionally abusive to my mom. When I stood up to him for my mom, he would beat me. He constantly told my mom that if she left him, he would k*ll himself. When she tried to leave him one time, my father threw a brick at the car window, almost hitting me in the head. She finally got away from him when I was 5. She was never really around because of severe depression and drugs. Then, in elementary school around age 7, I was groomed by a teenage girl who would make me meet her in the bathroom, and sexually abuse me. This happened multiple times. Around this same time, my mom wasn't home one day, so I went to the neighbor’s house where a college girl was visiting, and she r@ped me. I started acting out violently. I set my sister's room on fire. I assaulted a bully, with brass knuckles. And due to everyone avoiding me for being the weird kid, at age 11, I kidnapped a 6 year old neighbor girl, just so I would have a friend (she escaped the same day). My mom was pregnant with my 2nd sister, so I got even less attention than before.
Due to the legal trouble of the kidnapping, I was sent to Laurel Heights in Atlanta, Georgia, a maximum level psychiatric hospital. I told my therapist about my problems, and my therapist told me I was a danger to society and that I needed to be locked in prison for the rest of my life. They gave me high dosages of medication, and I was brain-dead and drooling on myself, for years. I made it out of there around age 15, but then I got into heavy drugs. I have been dealing with manic depression, antisocial personality disorder, and schizophrenia for the past 15 years. I'm 29 now, and I just decided a couple of days ago that I’m going to start talking about what happened to me, without the fear of going back to a psychiatric hospital. Opening up, has helped show me that telling people, won't automatically mean I get sent back. Because of my childhood therapist, I always thought if I opened up about the sexual abuse and trauma I went through, that law enforcement would be nervous about me harming another person. I'm not going to. I was 11, when I made that mistake and it was innocent. I just wanted a friend. I’ve spent most of my life, filled with rage and hatred for the world. Opening up, has helped me see there are still good people out there.
