This post has severe child abuse triggers.... [Added by moderator]
I am a survivor of child abuse by my mom. I have memory issues because of what she did to me, so many parts of my childhood are missing. My mom used to keep me in a steel dog crate when I was growing up. I slept and ate in there. I was only allowed out to use the bathroom. She had it somehow plugged into an electrical outlet that turned on when she flipped the light switch. This is how she would wake me up. If she was mad, it lasted a lot longer. Now, I live with a constant tremor and permanent neurological damage.
When I was 11, I woke up in a hospital. They told me that someone dropped me off. I was in a coma for 9 days. After that, I lived in foster homes and eventually a group home where I aged out. I am now trying to work on the things I do remember and hope to remember the things that I don't.
I hope this isn't too much for a first post.
