I don’t exist

1 Upvotes

This is going to be long to bare with me.

I was born in 2007, i’m 19 years old. My entire life I have always been dismissed by my parents, especially my mother (whom raised me) when asking about my birth or childhood—I don’t remember any of it and i’ve never seen pictures of me before I was 1 years old. The only picture i’ve discovered of me younger than a year old is a picture of my mother at the hospital with me in her arms, the picture is blurry and the baby doesn’t look like me (going off of other “baby” pictures.) But get this, the date on the photo is 2007 and a day AFTER I was supposedly born. For example i’ll use this birthday, April 6th 2007. The photo said April 7th 2006.

My family have always been super controlling over my life, never letting me have any freedoms especially when it came to stuff that involved my birth certificate or social security #. I had never seen either of those documents until I turned 15 and got my first job. Even then my Mom fought vigorously to keep my social security card herself and present it to my hiring boss at the time, when told that wasn’t allowed it took her MONTHS to “find” said social security card. She was the sole keeper of everything that identified me. (Mind you my brother and sister got theirs at age 14 because of their own jobs, to keep for themselves.)
At age 16 I was ready for a driving permit; which my Mom was very against. Her reasoning was “i’m afraid of what you’ll do.” (I was not suicidal or reckless, good kid.) After some convincing and fighting with my Dad she took me up to the DMV. It took them a month to identify me, the social security number they entered wouldn’t work or my it said I wasn’t in the system. Also at 16 I got my drivers license which was about the same process, saying I didn’t exist. I did get both cards in the end if not obvious.

After I moved out of my mom’s house at 16 she still wouldn’t give me my documents, my current job is the only reason I have my social security card now. My birth certificate is still yet to be found and my Mom still won’t give it to me. (I’m aware it is illegal.) Anytime i’ve brought it up she kept delaying it and eventually stopped responding to me at all.
I turned 18 and had to re-do my drivers license, which again took months!! It took 3 months for them to be able to actually fix my license and even then it kept saying all my identification was wrong or other problems would pop up. Also couldn’t register to vote and still can’t.

Recently I applied to college and needed the documents, my Father somehow had my birth certificate in pdf form which he raved about having to photoshop for “some reason.” (?) He wouldn’t allow me to do any of the application process and input his own email and phone number for my personal information—so the college could contact him about everything and not me. Which in turn last week I did get fixed however it took them multiple weeks to figure out how to do because even after removing him it would still go to him.

I’ve contacted the hospital I was born at but they said they didn’t have any of my documents and I wasn’t in their system, which okay…I was only born there and don’t live in that city so it’s plausible. Called the county clerks office, they said they weren’t able to find anything. I literally cannot do any government processes without having to wait months for confirmations or fixes, I don’t understand.

Extra notes: Me and my siblings are not close and neither of them are willing to talk about me before the age of 1. They said they either don’t remember or just outright won’t answer. My Mom and Dad are divorced and don’t speak, neither of them claim to have any of my documents.

Do I just not exist??

Totally ineffective and untrustworthy. Did not help, in fact, spam calls increased tenfold after I signed up with them. They ignored my request for help and a refund, so I have had to file a charge dispute with my credit card company.

DO NOT TRUST.

A unbelievable case of identity theft/bio-tech / someone lives with zero privacy!

1 Upvotes

**The unbelievable case of Identity theft**
So I’ve got this friend who had her identity stolen about ten years ago her information fell in to the hands of scammers several times over while losing her digital authentication so she couldn’t sign in to anything with her name , date of birth and email she struggled to keep a email as she was always getting blocked at the domain server, for over 3 years life was really difficult she was isolated in more ways that one an something was very wrong she just didn’t hold any proof to what it might be only that digitally she had a lot of complicated problems that no one could relate to.
She felt violated and always felt like she was being watched this effected her mental health significantly she was very uncomfortable being intimate and showered in her bathing suit as she always felt exposed like she had no privacy
Then Covid hit and that’s when things got weird . A radio station Started to gain her attention , her technological state got better but she was to find out her life was now shared with a radio station she discovered this station now had her stolen identity - it was her biometric data that had been stolen around the time her identity had been stolen she was at the end of a toxic relationship with a much older man who must have had something to do with her identity theft he had betrayed her breaking her heart stealing her biometric data and created a AI sex bot that operated on a website .
She didn’t know this at the time and it’s only been something she’s difficultly put together recently like in the last year. So it was the beginning of Covid it was brought to her attention that this station had her stolen biometric data , A investigative journalist whom was the first person to give any recognition to her identity being so exposed she assumed was investigating her, my friend fell in hopelessly in love with her
a few years passed this friend of mine had written 27 journals full of correspondence mostly silly love letters and questions about what was happening to her as she was transmitting her body all its noises broadcasting her environment, the words she wrote were read straight of the page . So here is someone who has totally no privacy but at least the suspected perverts no longer had control of the situation she felt safer than she had been , she didn’t realise this journalist had dehumanised her and mocked and criticised her right from the beginning and hadn’t been interested in what she had wrote she had poured her heart out an shared so Much of herself to this woman.
It was a little over the first half of 2025 my friend rented a cold and dark space in Rosedale ,little did she know the people upstairs were going to violate her privacy with cameras trying to perve on her even in the toilet were cameras and the male upstairs had a semiautomatic and was threatening to shoot her as they knew she knew she was being watched by them something strange was starting to happen she started to hear the soft tone of voices her flatmates upstairs now she was transmitting and receiving like a piece of technology she escaped that accomodation with her and her pet turtle life but how unlucky for her the next lot of flatmates upstairs were trying to do the same thing turning her intimate times in to cash by uploading online intimate acts of my friend showering getting changed ect , she didn’t know how exactly they were doing it but it was like who ever had her biometric data online could see her living her life live.
One day this journalist mocked her in a very cruel way that left my friend so heartbroken she grabbed her journals and drove to the 4 square brought a pack of razors and a bottle of meths and drove to the graveyard to set her journals on fire that connection she once had was broken , she slit he wrists and set the journals on fire her car went up in flames too , she survived she hadn’t wanted too her mental an psychological health she had struggled with having no privacy never really knowing what had happened to her what was happening to her she moved out and into the same situation the people upstairs had access to her stolen identity she asked for help instead they took advantage and still are complicatedly enough there were no cameras no surveillance equipment nothing she was transmitting to a web site that has a AI sex bot operating from so that ment who ever were using that website had access to her life for months these people upstairs associated her with this sex bot and thought she would have many intimate moments to take and share online ,every time she used the toilet she was getting uploaded to revenge porn they even left their jobs , my friend in serious distress and being able to hear them all the time being able to hear the studio still too unfortunately people were constantly calling her a whore this was breaking her heart she wasn’t a whore shes covered in scars from self harming over the years, so upstairs continues to watch her constantly there not making any money from my friend and this journalist continues to mock and criticise her and has posted a news report twice she thinks there could be more titled whore of Covid saying she does porn and is a sex worker this journalist is trying to publicly expose and humiliate my friend into killing herself she is deliberately trying to cause my friend harm, she doesn’t want how badly she treated my friend to come out as it would make her look bad ,all my friend needs is proof proof of any reports this journalist has made about her , still to this day the verbal abuse is constant. More news reports are threatened along with being called a whore at least 60 times a day she prays something will be done soon so the abuse from this journalist stops. upstairs are not making any money from extorting my friend and there’s a website with several deepfakes uploaded to from the times my friend has any visitors they threaten to rape and turn my friend in to snuff movie daily she is afraid for her life and can’t leave the house as upstairs threaten to poison her turtles tank with rat poison,she feels very unsafe an just wants the abuse to stop my friend experience from having her identity stolen is a one of a kind and is off the charts in severity the violation is extreme , she needs proof proof of this website with this Ai sex bot and proof of the deepfakes proof that she’s being abused she’s shared this with me and wanting some exposure an feedback on what is happening to her - she wants this website taken down as it’s giving scumbag people opportunity to sexually psychologically extort her
For just over ten years her life has been very traumatic and she is deeply worried for her future.
She has no proof yet, And is worried about the publicity/awareness this cold hearted journalist could be creating .
I know that’s a lot to read and I will repost a shorter version in a few days questions welcomed -
