Never Would Have Thought...

I was diagnosed with focal pointm\, Grand mal seizures when I turned 14, almost 15. My family (mother, step father, grandparents..) all kept me holed up in the house, they resented me for having them! My grandmother would drive me around from place to place because I was told that I would never be able to drive due to the fact that I would never be controlled. I am now 21, They pushed and pushed, not allowing me to leave the house, not allowing me to spend time with other family, do things based on my appearance, and treated me like I was a horrible child. I have since been married and even at that point they held me basically by black mail saying that I couldn't leave because if I left their home that I would lose my insurance,which I found out much later was BOGUS. I understand the feeling of wanting to protect your child but this is still such wrong behavior. My step fathers family's behavior was even worse, they had a neighbor that had frequent petimals, they were angry at me for not letting them see one of my grand mals. ...yes because I'm doing it on purpose! About two months ago I left, I moved in with my husband and his family, naturally I ended up having 2 that same day, followed by several health issues that resulted in me being in multiple hospitals and being in 2 different cities to still be treated. My mother-in-law has been amazing, my sister- in- law took care of me... how can two families be so different.. Granted my husband is a little more careful when we leave the house, but we are now moving in with my biological fathers home so that we can save up some cash to live on our own... It just makes me so angry that my own blood would treat me like I'm a kindergardener, yes I have other conditions but my in-laws treat me so much better than my own mother.. never would have thought...
