First of all, screw you. You obviously have never been the victim of this kind of shit so it's hard to understand. It's not logical. It's easy to say "oh I would have fought back" but what happens when you have to follow through on that? Are you actually going to hit your own mom? As a minor in the US, you have virtually no rights other than to call the cops and ask to get taken away from your parents.

No need to be sorry, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing when I look back on it. As I said, it helped me handle pain and sleep deprivation better. Odds are, I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't gone through that experience. I wouldn't want to do it again. But it wasn't all bad in hindsight.

She was ok when I was younger. Her condition started to get bad when I was 8, and by the time I got to middle school it was really bad.

Yes. I've had a very interesting life after I got away from my mom. But until I was 18 it was pure hell.

No, after I left the house we don't talk anymore. This was just one of many really screwed up things she did. Looking back on it, I am glad to have this experience because it helped me handle pain and sleep deprivation very well, and that allowed me to outperform my peers later in life.

No, the hospital did their job. When my mom "went to pick up the prescription for me" she just took them for herself then switched the vicodin with Tylenol.
