Needing advice or any help with this

[SusanJackson]

I recently found out my daughter (who currently worked at the hospital in admission or insurance) had copies of my medical information. This was in April, 2003. I was extremely depression.. I was dealing with the death of my mother and my grandchild, I could feel myself sinking deeper into my depression. I discussed this with a good friend of mind who was also an RN. So when released from hospital the next morning I checked myself into a treatment center to help with me depression. I found out in 2013 my daughter had copies of my medical records letting others read them. She had kept these files since 2003. ER notes, labs, history, ect...

I can see it making a big difference to someone if the daughter still has the records and continues to share them with other unauthorized individuals.

I guess it just comes down to the individual.

Ten year old info about my life is just plain old news.

I live in a small town where everybody would know about my past anyway.

Your post did make me see the whole thing from a different perspective.

Remember -be kind to your children, they will choose your nursing home someday Seriously-you need to put this behind you.

What if you are kind to a child who is unkind in return? I try not to assume family means unconditional love and protection. Just another viewpoint. And: violation/ vulnerability are very much alive within family systems. That's why we have a need for domestic violence nurse examiners.
