I think my step-mom tried to poison me!

I think my stepmom tried to poison me.

About ten years ago my dad remarried this woman who was a real bitch. I had just moved with my mother when they had started dating so I didn't really have much contact with them except for a couple of weeks in summer or christams when I would go visit. I wasn't even invited to their wedding. I guess my dad had difficulties trying to raise me and figured my presence would make his marriage difficult. Later when he got divorced though I found out through my dad that she particularly hated me (not my sister who was present at the wedding)which I don't know why cause I barely knew her and I was always nice and respectful. But I think it was my dad's fault because I think he spoke bad about me which is a thing a parent should never do and he probably allowed her to be hateful.

Anyways, one of the times I had gone to visit them, she had cooked dinner (which she had never done before). Well I ate what was on my plate and the next morning I woke up feeling awful. My face was really pale and I felt really fatigued. I was like this for three days and when I tried to think about what it could be the only thing that stood out in my mind, cause the thought made me nauseated, was the food I had eaten. So I knew it had to be that. So I asked everybody else if they had gotten sick too and everybody was just fine. And to this day, I have never felt that awful. I felt like I was dying, which I found so strange. Thank God I got better on my own. I told my mom and she got scared and thought maybe my stepmom had tried to poison me. I was so young and naive I thought my mom was being foolish. I didn't think people could be that evil.

Anyways, a few years later I went to the movies to see the Sixth Sense. And I saw the scene where the girl dies cause she is being poisoned by her stepmom and I just freaked out. And it got me to thinking about it again. It's been about nine years since that happened and I have a growing feeling that she really did try to poison me. And I just think about what if she had killed me? Nobody would have known what happened to me and she would have gotten away with a serious crime?

Do you guys think I am crazy to think this? And if not, how do I get justice? Obviously I can't prove it cause I never went to the doctor for an evaluation but now I wish I had. When I think about the worst that could have happened it just bugs me.

My father began to get sick and lose his motor skills. My stepmom has been going around telling people that he only has little time left to live. She has told me things that the doctor has told her that I have asked the doctor and he says he never said any of it. I think she poisoned him with iron. Now may father is in a long term care facility. Whats crazy is that my stepmom sells longterm care INSURANCE. Whats crazier is that slightly before my father began getting sick, my grandmother was ill in the same way with her brain and died. Whats even more crazy is that before she died, my stepmother(who is an astrologer priest in a cult called Religious Science International) had a hospice agent from her "church" go to my grandmothers every day and, according to the other nurse taking care of her, was giving her iron supplements before she died. Whats even crazier is that her brother is a lawyer and they together are suing my aunt for her house and trying to take it from my aunt, whom it was left to. What do yall think?

Hey, I know it sounds nuts, but me and my sister have long suspected my stepmother in poisoning my father. But I don't have any way to prove it.

Abouth 7 years ago he began a relationship with this woman who alienated him from his daughters. He was losing his memory and we told her so, but one day she took him from his home and got married. Soon after she took us to court and suied for his property which was also in my name. She won and sold the property and in 2years went through all monies. She put him in a rest home. Where he seemed to get worse..but he stilled retained some of his memory. I would notice that when we visited him and she would be there she would always feed him this liquid that was kind of thick. She always brought a styrofoam cup and would not allow us to throw cup away, she would grab it and put it into a ziplock baggy. He also seemed to get extremely sleepy after he drank this liquid.

He is now very ill and has just had surgery. Today my sister went to the hospital to visit and she was there trying to get him to drink this liquid again. My sister's boyfriend saw a canister that was by his bed and went over to see what it was and as he picked it up she grabbed it from him and told my sister that it was just corn starch that she used to thicken his drink. We have told several nurses, doctors and even the judge (we been to court several times) and they just dimiss us as nuts and jealous daughters. We can't hire an indepent doctor, because she (my stepmom) has to consent. What to do? My dad is dying and we don't know if it was caused by her or helped along by her or is it just the the illness. We need help. My sister is thinking of drinking this drink next time she visits, distracting stepmom and taking a sample. We don't know what else to do.

She would have to be very dumb to do that. You never even saw her then, so why would she put herself at risk for murder charges just b/c she has to see you a couple times a year? What you should do is tell your dad how badly he treated you & allowed you to be treated. Write him a letter if you have to. I think that would make you feel better.

eyeswideopen agony auntAfraid it's all water under the bridge at this point. They are divorced you don't see her anymore. I doubt if she did try to poison you however. Poisoning is always checked out especially if a young person dies unexpectedly so she wouldn't have chanced it unless she is really stupid. Since it happened so long ago there is no proof so you just need to put it behind you. Talk to your doctor about this to further alay your fears.
