Her Parents Sent Her To A Mental Hospital 😳
A person recounts being forcibly taken from their home by strangers in the middle of the night, transported to a plane without knowing the destination, and ultimately delivered to Inter Mountain Hospital in Boise, Idaho. Their parents had orchestrated this involuntary commitment without warning, even packing their bag in advance.
Summary
This is a deeply personal account of an involuntary psychiatric hospitalization that began with a traumatic midnight abduction. The speaker describes being awakened around 1-2 AM by two strangers who gave them an ultimatum to come voluntarily or be taken in handcuffs. The parents had been advised not to inform their child beforehand and had already packed a bag, revealing their premeditation in the process. The speaker was then transported in a black SUV to LAX airport, where they were deliberately prevented from seeing which gate they were going to in order to maintain secrecy about the destination. Only after boarding the plane and hearing the captain's announcement did they learn they were headed to Boise, Idaho. During the flight, they received letters from both parents, though the speaker describes dissociating so severely that they cannot recall the contents. The experience concluded with arrival at Inter Mountain Hospital in Boise, Idaho, which the speaker identifies as a life-changing moment. The entire account emphasizes the traumatic nature of the surprise intervention and the speaker's complete lack of agency or information throughout the process.
