The decision to move a post is not taken lightly. (I used to be a moderator.) As someone said, moderators are not mental-health professionals. They are people with mental illnesses who agree as volunteers to take on this role. They use their best judgment in such decisions. They do consider how many people will read it. Of course, sometimes the writer disagrees with where the post ends up. But with the link, the post can be found easily.

We all have our stories to tell, be they about mental abuse by parents, mistreatment in therapy, etc. We all want people here to know "where we come from," and you certainly can do that here at PC. Have you considered starting a blog? There you can "tell your story" without being "relegated" to a particular forum.

Or perhaps you can tell your story in parts within the forum system. If you would like, someone here can make suggestions as to how to do that, after reading what you have written.

I have to say that I'd be perturbed, too, if my life story were considered as fiction, which I think is how you view the "creative" category. But people do also write autobiographies. (Although poetry is popular in the "creative" section, it's not the only type of writing that can appear there.) We other members do care about you, even if you think we don't sometimes.

Please let me know if I can help otherwise. Thanks for sharing your feelings. Now more people, including me, might read what you've written!

(My two cents' worth )
Thanks for this!
