Finally Talked To Him

[Lauren214]

I finally talked to my dad today about how I've been feeling recently. I was able to tell him how paranoid I am but I honestly don't know if he really understands where I'm coming from here. When they rescued me my dad was much more receptive then my mother. And now I feel like that's still the case. He knows I drink more, he knows I take sleeping pills, he knows I'm depressed. I think maybe he partially understands my paranoia I just wish we could talk more without ALL of the Interruptions.
Edited: And now I am less depressed then I was back then but it still takes its toll on me. I've got a friend that went through this with me and I wonder if shes making the better choice for going to a therapy/rehab center to deal with all of whats going on.

Hi Lauren214,

Can you provide more background? Who rescued you and why?

Take care,

Ayesha I was in a situation where I was held against my will by an older man I got away from him one day and waited for my family to find me because by then they knew I wasn't safe. My parents Drove through the night and got to me in less then 24 hours driving across 3 states. My dad and I were always close when I was younger and that took a total 180 when I became a teenager (like any relationship at that age). And I felt I had no choice but to wait because I had no cell phone the gentleman had stolen it. And I didn't trust law enforcement like I realized eventually I never should have trusted them.

Lauren,

It's good you're talking to your Dad. Hopefully he can be a support for you. You are so brave and so strong.
