Today, I finally got medication to deal with my seizures. I've had them since I was 5, but my mother had always believed I was faking it. When I seized during a basketball game, she actually came onto the court and lectured the referee for "humoring" me. FML

... How the **** did your mom not get reported to Child Protective Services for medical neglect or at LEAST child endangerment? She could have bloody well killed you, and the fact you've had one seizure in public means you almost certainly have had others. And it's hard to imagine at least SOME of them would have occurred during school, which should have had you taken to the infirmary and quite likely the hospital! Was everyone around you that should have protected you from your crazy ass mother so stupid as to believe her accusations, or were they too lazy to give a ****? I'm glad you've got medicine to keep the seizures more controlled, OP. I do strongly suggest keeping them on you at all times so your mom can't throw them away with the "logic" that you don't need them because you are faking. Hell, it sounds like your mother would benefit from some medicine of her own- more specifically, maybe some antipsychotics would drag her head out of the clouds and back down to reality. Hopefully BEFORE she starts doing something even more dangerous.

So sorry OP. My now ex-wife was the same way as your mother. and I endured a broken neck and a fractured back in seizures in 2002 and 2005. She asked for a divorce the day i was diagnosed as epileptic. Take your meds, follow your docs directions and before you know it you will be doing so much better. I am entering my 15th month on my anti-convulsives and am almost 5 months seizure free.

I've had a close experience my husband has been having absent seizures since he was little but his mom refused to get him treatment or even tell him that he had them because she didn't want him to not have a chance to drive he had a gran mal seizure a few months ago and I argued with her about taking him to the hospital she said it's over now there isn't anything they can do but I won that argument not just that but she had also been hiding the fact that he has a heart condition and borderline personality disorder for years so we've spent the last 3 and a half months. In and out of the hospital because she refused to deal with it when he was a child.

Your mother is a moron. I am thankful that stupidity is not genetic.

Sorry if that's insulting but... You see the average human is pretty dumb. Roughly half of Humanity is even dumber than that. So what I'm trying to say is that your mother is most likely one of those people...

I'd hate to have such a shitty excuse for a mother.

I really can't wrap my head around this one. I can't imagine a mother ignoring her kids seizures....for years? and it seems like there must have been another family member or adult you could have turned to. this sounds suspicious.

please tell me you tried reporting her to the police
