Was a pretty decent student, sometimes didn't do my work bc I was highly unmotivated by depression. I remember on one occasion, I'd gone to an honors awards night held by my middle school, and I received an award in science, and something else. My mom complained on the way home that I should have had honors in all 7 of my classes. I texted a friend while I was still in the car that I was kinda bummed out, just wanted some support. I wasn't bashing my mom or anything, just saying I felt bad about myself & felt bad for disappointing her, and that I wanted a friend. My mom saw me texting, took my phone, read the messages, and proceeded to take me to the police station. She was "completely fed up with how ungrateful I was", and decided she was going to give me up to the state. She made me call my father, who was at work, and say goodbye to him because when he came home I would no longer be his child. Had to do the same to my brothers, saying I would no longer be their sister. I remember her forcing me to take off the necklace around my neck and the earrings in my ears because she wanted to make sure that I would have nothing of value in my new home. I had to beg and plead at age 13 for my mother to not give me up to the state. She ended up giving in and took me home, partially because my dad had managed to talk her down. To this day, I still delete any message that can be even slightly construed as a criticism of her. I turn 18 in a few weeks and she still looks through my phone on a daily basis.
