Being kidnapped by one of my mother's enemies and held prisoner all day in a abandoned house, tied up and blindfolded, told I would be raped and tortured. Amazingly, I actually fought my way out of it, ran away, developed traumatic amnesia for an hour or so, regained enough of my memory to find my way home, called police, policeman arrived at my house to interview me about the crime but he didn't believe me. I insisted on pressing charges. Police took me into a police car and we found the house where I was held prisoner. Man who'd kept me there was still unconscious--I was afraid I'd killed him. But they woke him up and put him in an ambulance. He was fine. They charged him with a few felonies, found him guilty, sentenced him to 5 years in prison, suspended.
It took me about 8 months to fully recover physically. I still have tooth trouble in one tooth from the fight to free myself. Mentally, it still lingers in my mind. None of my friends was supportive. I'm still proud that I successfully fought my way out of that situation.
