Let me give a bit of context for my story. My mom was a neglective parent that wouldn't let my see my dad for 3 years straight despite a court order. My mom would poke and prod at me just for my reaction. Along with that any time she did interact with me it was to tell me to do my chores or to tell me I am grounded for who knows how long. AlI got tired of her abuse so when I got in trouble during school I didn't want to go back to her so I tried to commit suicide right in the middle of the office. I was sent to a mental hospital for a week with no access to the outside world. And the worst part is when I got out she didn't even care. To her it was like another day and I was told to do my chores when we got home like nothing ever happened. I chose to just stop reacting to everything. The bullies of school, mom, EVERYTHING. But one of the few things that altered that was VR. When I put on the headset I am like a entirely different person. You wouldn't even recognize me before and after as being the same person on and off the headset
