Water fairies abandoned me

This happened so long ago but I still feel so let down by whatever water folk I was talking to.
It was somewhere around early 1961 to mid 1962. I was somewhere between 3 and a half and 5 years old. A rare family holiday, oh how lovely to get away. Camping by a lake, fishing for dad, mum relaxed, my sisters and I running wild all over. Me as usual talking with the animals and the fairies. Oh such bliss.
Time to go home and the darkness gathered around me, my friends told me on the way home we would camp over night by a river, in the morning I was to fall into the river and be swept away, ahh the promise of never hurting again. So I did go into the river, it was so fast and wild, freezing cold. I don't remember how long I was in the water, strangers pulled me out unconscious and "saved " me.
My parents never knew I jumped in deliberately, at my age I didn't know about suicide but that was my first attempt. Those fairies promised me and they just left me. That's when I knew never to trust anyone ever.
