And Just When I Thought It Couldn’t Get Worse

1. i don’t even know what to say
2. i don’t think anyone would/should expect you to stop crying about such a thing in a mere two hours. Maybe two months… or years.

It seems so unbelievable… but in case this is your actual reality, i don’t want to suggest it’s not true. I don’t want to believe it, but not wanting to believe things never makes them any less true.

Perhaps this can be the catalyst that leads you to a better situation.

“y would i cry for awhile”

I’m assuming that’s a rhetorical question, but i’m going to answer it anyway.

Why would you cry? Because that’s a deeply disturbing, emotionally traumatic experience. Lots of people cry when horrible things happen. You seemed to imply that two hours is too long to cry over finding your step sister hanging dead in the closet after slashing her wrists/arms. Crying for two hours is not excessive at all. I would expect much, much more, from just about anyone.

In fact, in such a scenario, i would expect you to be in shock, not fully realizing what has occurred. But you’re here telling us about it, only two hours after it happened? Something just doesn’t fit. It’s triggering my skepticism. But like i said, if this actually happened, telling you i think it’s not true, is not the effect i want to produce.

I don’t want be like “nuh uh, liar…” because i don’t know. I wouldn’t want to be one of those people who doesn’t believe your story, when it’s actually true… but this is some pretty serious stuff, and you’re here, so soon after, implying that you think you shouldn’t be crying about it. And while i’m not going to tell you “you should cry about it,” i will also say: “you shouldn’t Not cry.” I find it bizarre that you think you shouldn’t cry over something like this.

Even though she was “only your step sister,” you said it was someone you shared a room with, who you were in the middle of trying to help, when this happened. If it were me, i’d be pretty freaked out and messed up. I’m surprised you’re even coherent enough to tell us about this so soon.

I still think you need to get away from all of those people. The life you describe is no kind of life for anyone. You can do better away from them.

I agree with PainNlife on this one. This is one of those times you have to decide to fight as hard as you can… even if you think you can’t win. If you won’t even fight for yourself, then it’s unlikely you’ll ever find the help you need. Part of it has to come from inside you. It’s in there, even if you might not think so right now. Sometimes it’s buried and you have to dig deeper to find it.

Well, in her defense, i will say that i have seen people behave quite strangely when in shock. I have seen people go full blown denial, or completely shut down… and it’s like there’s a giant wall preventing them from accepting what is happening. Think “deer in headlights.”

OTOH, this does all seem quite incredible. But there is nothing that says it’s impossible, or that it must be false, either. There are horrible people in this world, and the objectionable behaviors described here are not really “all that far out,” considering the spectrum of bizarre shit, of which so many people in this world are capable.

She obviously knows how to take a picture of herself and post it on the internet, so she’s not totally inept. I would “guess” that she’s using a mobile device, and some of those are notorious for compatibility issues.

If the events described in her previous posts, and this one, are actually true… then she needs to get /the fuck/ out of there, and somehow get help from the authorities… and preferably never encounter these people again.

Again, on the other hand, she did previously state that she has a history of mental illness, and that “no one believes her.”

Imagine if you experienced ongoing abuse, and are repeatedly told you were lying, every time you tried to tell someone what was happening. What do you do then?

Well, basically, there is only one way: you have to insist, you have to be adamant about it, and you have to refuse to take “that’s not really true” or “we don’t believe you” as an answer. You have to SCREAM IT. You have to FIGHT to make people aware of the truth, until someone listens, and helps you do something about it.

I would honestly prefer to be in a hospital or even solitary confinement somewhere, as long as i’m away from these people.

I can’t say i know what’s really going on over there, but if it’s anything like what we’ve been told, then it’s not okay.

And if it’s an elaborate troll… well, better safe than sorry, i suppose. I don’t mind if people think i’m someone who would want to help a person in such a situation as described.

@Pain: did you read her other posts about being strapped down and “sold,” or having drugs “tested” on her? Do you think that “step parents” who would do/allow such things would be so quick to call police to deal with a suicide of their other daughter? Or might they freak out a bit themselves, thinking “shit, what are we going to say? what is our story? how are we going to get past this without all the other shit coming out?” That could be a reason police were not immediately called. Just sayin, if it was me, i wouldn’t call them right away either.

Then again, it all seems very outrageous.

Who would let their slaves use the internet? Are they just that brazen? Or is that the critical mistake in this potentially fabricated scenario?

If i had underage teenage sex slave drug guinea pigs, i certainly wouldn’t want them using the internet. That would just be profoundly careless. Then again, perhaps the guy is, as the poster suggests, “well connected,” and doesn’t really have to worry about it. Maybe it’s already established that he can just say “oh, poor thing, she’s just crazy…”

Cosmic blip on point. I actually thought of that, but was afraid to say it… and, how do i know she doesn’t already have a pic waiting for that question? How would we know whether a pic of a dead girl hanging in a closet is “her step sister?” It could be just about anyone. She would have to… oh i feel so terrible saying it, she would have to basically photobomb it. It would have to be her AND the deceased, in the same pic. It’s a disgustingly morbid thought, but… wouldn’t that pretty much “prove” that something needs doing here?

I don’t want to leave a serious situation up to “pics or it didn’t happen…”

But, you know… sometimes you gotta do things you don’t wanna do, to make things better.

Well, considering the timing… it’s possible there was a delay, a gap between events, and that if she has indeed taken action, she may have stirred up a proverbial hornet’s nest. She could be drifting away, being beaten, busy with cops, or laughing at all of us, as we speak. Who knows. Or, she could be starting to freak out, after her “shock wall” starts to come down. Sometimes people are numb and overwhelmed with disbelief, even though they can describe an event that has occurred. I’ve seen people crack like that before. They go all glassy eyed and it’s like it’s all a dream… at least, for a while. But then the full blown “omfg” realization happens later, and they either collapse in despair, or become hyper-agitated and frantic.

Idk. So many horrible things in this world. I hope this one isn’t real. But i’ve seen too much to deny that stuff like this could happen, and i can only guess that a typical 15yo would not handle it very well, not to mention one who has endured what is described in this user’s posts.
