<font color="#000088">That's totally true. Everytime they are around me,they treat me like I just got out of the State Mental Hospital! When I have been completely stable for 7 years,and haven't been in the State Hospital for 10 or 11 years! But they still treat me like I just stepped out the door. There's nothing I can do to show them that I've changed,or that I'm doing much better. It's like they're either blinded to it,or they just don't want to believe that I'm doing better. Even though they know I haven't been there for years,and they know I haven't harmed myself for years. But it doesn't make a bit of difference to them,I'm still just as bad as if I was still cutting,at least thats how they treat me.
They don't trust me around their kids,cause they think I'm a danger to them for being mentally ill, unless they are there to supervise. They call me crazy all the time,and tell the in-laws at the family parties not to listen to me,because I'm just crazy. And when they're not making fun of me,they're just ignoring me,so it's no wonder I don't want to be there,it's just damaging to me! I worked hard to become stable and stop cutting,and to be treated like I did nothing,and am still the same way,just makes me feel like I should just go back to it,like I did all that for nothing.
I just can't be around them,they will end up undoing what I worked hard to accomplish. </font>
