It's been an uphill journey and one that I am still recovering from.

I have felt that a lot of what I would say about abuse was ignored by others. There was the time when I was younger that my mother began hitting my door with a hammer to continue an argument that I tried to end by going to my room. She jammed the door by hitting the doorknob and called the police. She told the police that I was out of control and I got a "talking to" by PD. They didn't do anything about the fact that they had to kick the door in to open it. They didn't care about the hammer lying on the doorframe/floor. Didn't ask me about the altercation just took my mother's word for it that this whole thing happened because I don't clean my room.

That is one incident out of my lifetime with my mother and she's basically invincible still. I was a child then but an adult now and still the same thing.
Not sure.if you have coped through the same thing?

I can remember a time in my childhood when my mother

Possible trigger:

tried to take my life

it wasn't believed by anyone, despite the marks on me, and the fact she (my mother) had gone in for questioning about the event.

It's terrible with people don't believe a child who is being abused. Some parents come across as nice and sweet--but not a home, I can tell you!

How terrifying! I am sorry that happened to you!
I believe you! I hope you have found a way to heal?
