The thing I mentioned in the last post that's been eating at me...

(Sent to the therapist - and I swear to Melvin God of Leaves that I will never call his ass again if he does not respond in a way that makes me feel like that's a good idea:)

Now that I have been so starkly honest with you, I've been having terrible feelings that you cannot really like me and that you will not be able to stay with me in what I am experiencing. It's not necessarily because of you in particular. I feel like that a lot with people because it is the societal norm to pretend not to feel anger and hatred. So called 'negative' feelings are not 'nice'. It's not 'nice' to get one's rocks off on thoughts of a vicious revenge. No matter what people have done to me, I am supposed to just be okay with it and just 'get over it'. More insight for you into why I react so violently to anything that even smacks of Shut Up and Act Normal Therapy. Remember when we had that fight because your own baggage was stepped on when I said. "...so don't ask me why I hate people (after I already told you why)"? Well... I think you know why I hate people now, don't you? It's because I am excluded from them if I am honest about my own feelings. It's because I choose me over them. That choice will never, ever change - not in a million fucking years - but I hoped to be accepted by someone other than my husband (and probably violent criminals who have no problem with physically acting out their various beefs with society). Why is it okay in this society that I was tied down in a hospital and drugged against my will; that I was kicked out of my body while my tiny and helpless son was left all alone in my body with no mother? Why is that okay? Do you know what I was afraid of while I was on the ceiling the night he was born? I thought I was dead; that my body had died. I was desperate to find some way to make noise to call attention to that fact before my baby died too, but there was nothing I could do because I had no body. And then when some time had passed, I was sure he must be dead since he was trapped inside a dead body whose heart had ceased to beat and bring him oxygen. I imagined the smothering sensations he must have felt before he died and I knew he was just a baby with no reference at all. I knew he was used to being protected inside my body and I worried that he was out, like me, and that he would be terrified. I looked for him up there on the ceiling. I was desperate to find him, but he wasn't anywhere. That scared me. It scared me very, very much. Then when I fell back into my body and the pain returned, so did those cunt nurses. Again, I told them NO. I was very clear and intelligible, but they ignored me. They injected me with drugs again anyway. Back to the ceiling for me. Do you understand what my crime was? I could not pretend that I was not in pain and I screamed. I guess it was just too inconvenient and annoying for someone to scream instead of consent to having themselves and a tiny, helpless baby drugged within an inch of their lives. That's how it always was for me, you know. Pretend or pay a terrible price. I HATE people. And I hate those two worthless bitches. I want to bash both of their fucking faces in. I SAID NO!! OF COURSE I'm going to shove their hands away when they come at me with a needle anyway! How DARE they tie me down and drug me for their own convenience! I hope they both rot in hell. I gave birth to my precious little boy while I was tied down like an animal. Yeah. They tied me down again in the delivery room because I was pushing away the mask with the gas in it.
I HATE THEM AND I HOPE THEY FUCKING DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And ANYONE who doesn't like me because of that can kiss my fucking ass. And hopefully it'll be immediately after I take a massive and really horrendously smelly shit and before I wipe.

  1. I HATE THEM AND I HOPE THEY FUCKING DIE!

    Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

    I'm so sorry that had to happen.

  2. Thank you, Amanda. I have decided that someone besides me must pay for this. Unlike those horrible and nasty nurses, I would never do the things to them that I imagine doing to them, but I will sue the hospital if I find I have legal recourse. If I do not, then I will still find a way to make them pay, even if it is only by exposing the story publicly or writing hate mail.

    Thank you very much for your comment. It means a lot to me that someone can see how my baby and I were tortured and that my angry feelings are just.

  3. LOL - maybe I'm a terrible person but I laughed at your last line. I feel like that too.

    I imagine the statute has passed on legal recourse, but I think I nasty letter would be great - maybe written on the aforementioned toilet paper?

  4. That sounds so terrible. So frightening.
    God people are awful sometimes.
    I think your angry feelings are completely justified.
    Like Enola I also laughed at your last line.
    But it's awfully sad that you and your son had such a traumatic start.

  5. This soundns like a horrendous mess. Makes me wonder what they were thinking.

    I'm sorry that you had to go through this.

  8. You're not a terrible person, Enola. I'm picturing cramming said TP down their throats. You know - without their consent.

    Yes, it was truly horrifying, Else. It has scarred me.

    I know what they were thinking, RR. They told me to be quiet. They were thinking that they would just do whatever they pleased because I was only 16 and had been dumped off at the hospital all by myself and had no one to protect me. That's basically how most people seem to be. And that's a problem.

    I'm glad you are safe, JIP. I'll be over to see.

  9. I think we should have an ass-kicking website where people can list the offender and their crime and someone else can go and kick their ass. Then the first one would have to kick the ass of someone else's dirt bag they added to the list. The ass-kicker would leave some kind of token so the ass-kickee knows exactly why their ass is getting kicked. I mean you could only beat them for 90 seconds. I would leave an atomic fireball, just because I like them but I am serious about a site.

  10. Hi, Tyler. I don't blame you a bit for these thoughts and feelings. I think it's normal to experience this kind of anger in response to having been treated with extreme injustice. I like that you say you would leave an atomic fireball. Maybe you were able to do that in some way just by finding a safe place to express your rage to other people. I know I was.

  11. "Shut Up And Act Normal Therapy." I love it! Your anger is more than okay with me. I'd be worried about you if you were NOT angry. I can't even imagine what you went through. Nothing surprises me with my evil, psycho parents, but I can't imagine going through what you described, at the hands of people who were being paid to fucking HELP you! WTF???!!!

    I have a confession to make and you've given me the courage to make it: I hate people, too. Most people, most of the time. There, I said it. It's just true, damn it!

  12. Hey, Lynn.

    I just wanted to let you know that there are a lot of women out there who have experienced trauma like this during birth. There's even a name for it: Birth rape.

    I'm so sorry you went through that. It sounds terrifying.

  13. You told them no, no ifs ands or butts about it. In my opinion that is a rape of medical nature. It's wrong and there are no two words about it.

    To feel rage for this huge injustice to you is as normal as the sun coming up each day. To not feel rage concerning one's welfare is unnatural. You have the rage of a mother who will protect her child and herself. There's a lot to be said for that.

    All too often our feelings are too much of an inconvenience for others. This is why people look the other way when someone is being hurt or walk away when they could offer help. It's not on their schedule for that day. Shameful!!

  14. The obstetrician that delivered my son was actually on my side and prevented some of the abuses that a lot of the cunt nurses there wanted to heap on me, but he had several other clients and wasn't there all the time. This one hateful bitch gave me magnesium sulfate, ostensibly to prevent seizures, and I agreed to it. But it made me puke, and she proceeded to throw an emesis basin in my lap and glare at me. I was always taught to be a good, compliant little girl and I apologized to her. She wanted to FORCE a catheter on me and I said "no you will not, I will pee for myself!" She said "WELL! We'll just see what your doctor has to say." She was SOOOOOO pissed when he backed me up.
    Unfortunately this bitch left at 10 but returned the next morning. By then I was in so much agony that when I saw her, if I could have stood up, I would have torn her head off and shoved it up her ass. I said "you get the FUCK out of here!" I demanded to see my doctor and we agreed that I needed a c-section, stat. When I woke up, who was the first person I saw? None other than that fucking bitch! Your experience was even worse than mine, but I do feel you.

  15. Luckily I don't think (I hope) that this kind of shit could happen today. Patient rights has come a long way because of this kind of nightmare. Not that I'm in any hurry to go to a hospital but a person does have a right to refuse treatment. That's one advancement at least, I guess. I agree, how dare these bitches tell you to be quiet. How the fuck is someone supposed to be quiet in labor? They deserve to use a spiked baseball bat for a tampon. And now I am a horrible person too! >;-}
