IJSP Number 1, 2019

60 A.G.F. told me that even if he hadn’t covered her mouth she wouldn’t have screamed or have any reaction because she felt as if her entire body had paralyzed, she couldn’t control her hands or feet and she wouldn’t have been capable of speaking and her look was blocked, waiting for everything to finish as soon as possible. After what happened the girl went on foot back home and waited for the morning and for her father to come back. When her father came back, after spending the night at the bar and at one of his drinking buddies, A.G.F. asked him to take her back home to Chisoda. Being alone in her grandparents’ house, as they were at Sunday service, A.G.F. looked through her grandmother’s medicines and took a handful of sleeping pills in an attempt to kill herself. Fortunately, the grandparents arrived home in time, they found her unconscious, and they panicked and called the emergency line for the medics which took her immediately to the child hospital “Louis Țurcanu” in Timisoara. Here they treated her with stomach washings and then hospitalized her. She stayed in the hospital for one week after which she was transferred to the section of Infantile Neuropsychiatry in the same hospital where she benefited from psychiatric treatment and psychological counseling for two months after which she was externalized and went back home in Chisoda. At the present moment, A.G.F. is 17 years and 5 months old and continues to live with her grandparents in Chisoda. Next to her, in her life, came Cristi - her lover with whom she forms a couple for seven months, a young man which, according to the girl, knows her entire story and a person with whom she wishes to create a future. A.G.F. says that Cristi is her emotional and financial support, the man that changed her life and the man for whom she gave up even smoking marijuana. Since he appeared in her life she never again thought of committing suicide, she learned to live as much as possible with her miserable past, and even more she regained her motivation to live and to continue trying to make her life more beautiful. Together with Cristi, A.G.F. takes care of David, her half-brother, the child of Gelu and her mother, a two years old boy which she and Cristi started looking over after Gelu left for work abroad and her mother brought him to her parents for them to take care of under the pretext that no one can look over him because she is at work all day long and comes home very late. A.G.F.’s mother visits David one every two weeks, during the weekend. The little boy started calling A.G.F. “mother” and Cristi “father”. A.G.F. claims that if her mother would one day come and try to take the boy back home she would fight her legally to make sure that she continues to take care of the child which she loves as her own.
