Forgot to post about it yesterday. December 21st 2015 is the day my freedom was ripped away from me. I was put in a mental health treatment group home. For 3 months I was trapped in that place my only way out to be as “well behaved” as possible. While I was severely depressed, anxious, and severely traumatized absolutely nothing about me warranted being committed, I was an A/B student with 0 school behavior issues, absolutely never been on any drugs (besides the ones forced on me by psychiatrists), no criminal charges, no risk of suicide, hadn’t self harmed in 3 years at that point. Yet social services still decided I belonged there based on lies my guardian told them.
That’s 3 months of my life stolen from me because an abuser manipulated the system.
This is what finally after years of being a libertarian leaning statist and wanting to fix government pushed me to realizing no one can be trusted with that power. After I got out of there I was a minarchist, as soon as I found out about the NAP I became an anarchist.
So fuck you government for putting me and so many other people through this hell.
And thank you anarchist, peaceful parenting and unschooling communities for giving me like minded people and space to heal and make something good of this.
