You have nothing to be ashamed of at all Shez! I'm really sorry you had to go through that, but try and forgive yourself now, because it wasn't your fault. Your mom shouldn't have treated you like that.

If it's any conciliation, I spent 8 hours in the ER while a friend had her tampon surgically removed. Stuck tampons happen to everyone, I just wish it hadn't happened to you on your first time.

I'm also really glad you didn't get blood poisoning or anything!
