Mental Healthcare Sucks in the United States

     Mental health seems so hard to treat in the United States. I tried to get myself in psychotherapy about 15 years ago, but that blew up in my face. The insurance I had, which I paid $125 a week, did not cover these services. The sessions cost $190 a session. I also did not like the therapist very much. I felt she was using her own opinions about an action many people do and is widely accepted even as a therapy. Still, she told me people who practice it have mental illnesses, and there are serious issues. I thought it was pretty biased and that she should be more open-minded. I also figured I was wasting my money, and I needed my money because I'm a single mother. Kids are a different story. Kids are always covered 100% for these services until they are 19. Now, I can't get the help I need because I went through all this abuse. I feel I learned how to cope or push it aside to concentrate on my kids, but I rebounded 5 years after I left the last abusive relationship.     

    I made terrible decisions and ended up halfway across the country in the West. It was an impulsive decision, and I ended up in another bad relationship. I think that I am ready for the help I need now. I get irritated quickly, and when people do things that remind me of my abuser, I feel like I am living it all over again. After my first abusive relationship, I was told that I had PTSD and MDD. It feels like being in a cage.

My First House

     In my experience with the Bully, we bought a house together, and he took it from me without a single dime. Should there have been protections for me? Yes. Was anyone willing to help? No. He knew this with the advice of his mother (who he learned to be a narcissist from), who knew I was isolated from family and so exhausted emotionally that I wasn't going to do anything. I tried to call lawyers to ask for advice on the subject and maybe get help, but they all refused. It is all because I never married him. Total BS. I even tried to stay there as long as I could to try to talk him into letting me keep the house, and I would reimburse him for his costs and refinance the house myself because the kids were happy in school, and they made friends there. we only lived there for two years then, so it wouldn't be that hard to switch. He was almost on board with that, but Mommy gave him advice. He even convinced her and others that I didn't put any money in on the house ( I put...

Friends or Foes?

   When you think you are trying to be vigilant against most abuse, it pops rights up before you. Recently, my best friend (I will call Tom) and his girlfriend (I will call Cassie) gaslighted me. I have known them for years, him being longer with getting to know her after they got together. I thought I had a great friendship with them, doing what regular friends do. I had met Tom through my abusive ex (who I call Bully), and when all of those things with Bully went down, Tom ended things with Bully, and Tom and I became allies. We also dated for a couple of months, and both realized we were better off as friends.  Cassie was an ex-girlfriend of Bully too, so we had something in common and an understanding. For 12 years,  Tom and Cassie have been a couple, and we all have shared many things, and our kids played together, etc. Unfortunately, we argued last year, and Cassie and I didn't talk for a few months. I missed her very much, and then I made the move of rekin...
