Question by : Why are my parents doing this to me ? Help please !!?
Yes, my parents are literally ruining my life. They are sending me to what they call a “residential treatment centre” for four or more months. They think I can’t handle my “problems” on my own. They are sending me there for OCD, which I have been living with my whole life so why should anything help now; PTSD just because every once in a while I will have a bad dream about my best friend who died; and for eating disorders, and while did have anorexia for two years and bulimia for one year I am seeing a therapist and it’s helping so much. All I have done is improved for all of these symptoms in the past few months, so why did they decide to all of the sudden send me to a “residential treatment center” in Illinois? I don’t think they realize how much worse that’s going to make everything. When my life is unstable that tends to trigger my OCD severely and I start to purge again too. And you can’t get any more unstable than sending me from Georgia to Illinois to a mental facility with no one I know and all alone. And on top of that, my brother’s wedding is in a month and I was suppose to be a bridesmaid. I’m supposed to be at this place until at least January if not later and there’s no way they can reschedule just for me. I’m going to miss a huge milestone in my family all because of my parents. I made an elite club volleyball team and now I have to give up my position because of this. To top it all off, my birthday is on Sunday and I’m leaving Friday. I can’t believe this. I’m only almost fifteen and it’s not like I’m a social outcast just because I have a few issues. I have a social life, friends, good grades. Why do they think this is so good for me if I am already improving so well just with my therapist? How do I convince them by Friday to let me stay home with my family and friends and my older sister and older brother who mean so much to me? I seriously might go through depression if they do this. Help how do I tell them to let me stay?!
