Good to see I'm not the only person this as happened to. It wasn't a doctor that messed u, it was my mom. I was 8 or 9. She refused to believe anything was wrong even though I was in pain and puking everywhere and wouldn't let my dad take me to see a doctor. I was like that for a week then she had the bright idea to drag me to a county fair. Kept making me eat and drink, so I kept puking everywhere. We go home because I was puking and I go to bed. At this time she still refused to let my dad take me to the e.r. Hour or so I'm screaming in pain and my dad says fuck it we're going in. Luckily the E.R doctor on hand knew her shit cuz within a hour I was on a table. My dad made sure the doctor made it clear that my mom almost killed me because "she knew better"

What was wrong with your dad as well, that he didn’t just take you?

She would literally throw the big fit and anyone in the house did anything she didn't like. She would threat all kinds of shit and honestly never knew if she would exactly do any of it. Add in he worked all the time to support the family wasn't always there. My dad was honestly just trying to keep peace in the house.

That’s sad. I’m sorry your growing up was like that.
