Hello I am a 31 year old male who has recently found out that I suffer
from ptsd, my father was an violent abusive alcoholic and at age 5 my
mother threw him out,around this time I was out in the streets fighting
other boys as I was angry about my fathers behaviour and I started
school at this time my mother had to pull me out as I was getting
bullied by older boys and getting into fights so my mother moved us to
live with my grandmother I was enrolled back in school at age 6 I was
bullied at this school and assaulted daily and verbal abuse and
intimidation, I stopped reporting the abuse as teachers did not care and
started fighting back this when on till grade 5 my mother put me in a
different school which was not as bad but I still got bullied not
physically just verbal abuse I then went on to highschool and only
lasted 6 months as my life was a living hell my mother tried to
homeschool me for the next six months but we ended up homeless and
living in our car this was for some time just before my 14th B-Day I was
taken by docs and placed in a home, the people who looked after me put
me in school I was their for 4 months my mother got me back but we ended
up homeless two more times on the last time we were pulled over by
police and my mother,myself and my three sisters were assaulted by these
police docs were called and they helped us get into housing,the area we
lived in was a high crime area, our pets were killed my mother was
assaulted by a drunk man our brakes were cut and the cars tampered with
in other ways to cause an accident, try to set fire to the house,
assault me, smashed windows and broke in, we became desperate to get out
so we payed off a block of land but found out that the man sold us land
we can't build on, we spent ten years living with no electricity and
little water my family fell apart and we all have mental health problems
, I have been unemployed my whole adult life as I can't be around people
and I trust no one I have never been in a relationship and I don't
function properly anymore, One of my sisters tired to kill herself and
the other one has serious mental health problems that she rarely leaves
the unit she lives in, sorry for the way this was written I am using my
phone.
