I Am Chantou, These Are My Thoughts [These Are My Thoughts]

I need to share something so those who know me.. get a little more who I am.

When in was 3yrs, my birth mom said we were going on a trip, just me and her. I was really happy, because her boyfriend who was my 1 month old baby sister's daddy waa bad to me.. he scared me as he was beating me up. My mom waa was really busy with my baby sister and my 9yrs sister too.

So we left ans stopped in front of a big building, there waa lots of kids play g around.. we entered those big doors and mom talked to a lady. She then came back to me saying you wait here, go play with the friends, I will me right back...

I waited for her almost a yr..ahe had just dropped me off at the orphanage. And went back home ro take care of my siblings.

At 4 was adopted by the wrong family ... suffered rape 9 yrs by many ppl.. beat up.. bullied.. emotional abuse.. who h lead to this...

This causes me to have tge orphan syndrome
Heres what it is:

Symptoms may be physical or mental, and may extend into adulthood and perhaps throughout a person's life.

Alienation from the environment - withdrawal from social activities, resistance towards others. I am a scared girl and I do fear ppl in public places a lot

Guilt - the child believes that he/she did something wrong that caused the abandonment (often associated with depression). remain as an adult, I always think I did wrong, I'm not good enough, I'm unworthy of everything

Fear and uncertainty - "clinginess", insecurities.[7] massively clingy sadly, and my heart say one thing while my head tries to tell me something else


Sleep and eating disorders - malnutrition, starvation, disturbed sleep, nightmares.[7]
insomnia, I used to starve and suffered bulimia. Now I barely eat, I cook, I love too, but after a few bites, I can't eat no more

Physical ailments - fatigue, drug and alcohol abuse, anxiety, depression, lack of energy and creativity, anger, grief.[7]
thankfully, I never touched drugs nor alcohol, but I suffer depression, anxiety, panic attack, I feel unloved all the time, I cry always for all and nothing, I have no confidence at some point, my self esteem can raise up to go right down within 5 minutes

But this also bring the fear of being unloved and abandoned..

If someone tells me I'll be there at 9pm

At 8h45 I'll start looking around
At 8h50 why are they not here
At 9h00 ok not here I did something bad
At 9h05 I start stressing.. ok the left..im no good
At 9h15 now I can start crying.. I beat up myself it mu fault. I was bad..
At 9h30 ok that's it that they don't care.. they left me.. I'm unworthy.. im nothing..

It goes on and on.. and I cant
Stop it I tried.. I'm better than I was.. but it's been like this forever .. it also made me a very jealous person.. by fear of losing the ppl i care about..as i never been loved from birth till a few yrs ago..

So please if you care bare with me.. if i start to freak and act differently... it may be related

Thank you
Chantou

What a sad story, Chantou.
That must be so difficult to deal with.
I was also adopted ( as a baby ) but I have no recollection of my early childhood.

I hope you understand that nothing that happened in your childhood was ever your fault. Children deserve to be loved and protected by those who brought them into this world, sadly your mom wasn't like that and my wish is that you find someone who loves you unconditionally just as you are. Blessed Be.
@Chantou: True, You are not alone and each one of us have our own luggage to carry but some are more determined to make it against the odds.

Chantou, This makes me so sad, crying right now. I can't imagine how you felt and I'm so sorry. I grew up with an abusive alcoholic father (mental and physical abuse). I was also raped but in my teenage years. You are very strong. Only one time my dad left me out in the middle of nowhere on vacation. He left and I was crying and mom pleaded with him to go back. He did it to teach me a lesson that when it's time to go it's time to go. That memory never erases, I still have dreams of being abandoned. I can't imagine how you felt. And I want to say it's not your fault, your mom needs help. A child can't stop crying when they are hurt or abused like that. Shame on her.

Thank you. And im sorry that it happened to you too. You re right.. we can forgive but me Dr forget. It doesn't mean we live in the past. I wA rswhen the rape started and w3 when I put a stop.to it..only one person knows how.

But one thing i know is that even with thks syndrome that most think can be cured..it can bht only if at a young age...i waa never loved.. i was sexually physically and mentally abused .. even with that i am stringer than them.. csuse i never sunk in alcoh..nor drugs.. nor did i ever hurt a soul.. except spiders 😉

I try to be a good person and kind harder.. I'm nothing like at of them was.. that made me stronger..

Yes you can forgive but not forget. I have made peace with my past as well and I vowed to never do what my father did to me and I'm definitely a stronger person in the end like you are. Sometimes it hurts me to even hurt spiders lol, but I don't want them biting me lol.

You been roughed up bad, didnt deserve any of it. So sorry for you getting punished when it wasnt even your fault. Mistrust n clingy is because of that. If i ever in my life date a woman someone like you, i will hold her in my hugs for hours just make her feel ok again. Will soething like this work?
MenzernaSF4000 · 36-40, M
I too love to hear if someone loves me. It just reassures me. I always told myself that i have memory of gold fish and i just forget when someone tells me that that they love me. If I have my way i would keep asking if they love. I know thats quite annoying.

@MenzernaSF4000: it's my everyday life

What a horrible experience for you. No wonder it has had such a strong effect on your perceptions now. *hugs*

that's a terrible childhood!! I can't imagine a "mother" abandons her own 3 years old child!! do you know anything about her? did you two have any contact ever since??
it is amazing that you have survived.. so stay strong... you are a great person
TimSummers · M
Nobody should go through that. I only hope you are or have gotten treatment and grown into the wonderful person you were meant to be.
SW-User
@TimSummers: sadly, the only treatment that can or could have cure it was love, care and security, and these are 3 things I never had while growing up, so I'm left with all these symptoms, though I think I turned out not that bad with all I've been Through. Thank you for reading and your kind words 🤗

Wow.... That's a sad childhood... And I thought my GFs past as a child was bad...
SW-User

@Chantou: my gf has a similar tale, except at age 3 her mom died protecting her from a man armed with a gun, her dad was too much of a drunk to look after her. Luckily no abusive step parents though.

If she isn't dead by now karma, or extreme guilt will strike her. Stay strong.
