In 2003 I filed a lawsuit against a big city; had been counseled for entire year by mental health “professional”; same ‘professional’ came for what was supposed to be a ‘home visit’; not aware this wasn’t correct–naturally I invited in my counselor who I’d seen weekly for an entire year. He ‘acted out’ in a bad fashion. I didn’t say anything to his authorities UNTIL it was revealed that he had documented falsely my records; it came to a point where I had to sue “him” and the City to defend myself against his accusations against me, which were him defending himself against my possibly revealing his nonsense. I had no plans to reveal “his nonsense” — rather typically I wanted to protect him thinking he had been ‘my friend’. A suit was filed, he impeached his testimony, I’ve an audio tape of his inappropriate messages to me on the telephone — 3 yrs and a “gag order” went by, Judge dismissed, several appeal judges held up first judge’s decision. Decision was bogus and based on “discretion” — Judge alleges that service wasn’t performed properly–it WAS performed properly–she said it should have been served on the Board of Directors, and in fact it was served on the Executive Director. Now all is lost, as far as any lawsuit, however I am now seeking advice as to how I can really close this situation — it reaks of complete facism and that’s why I can’t get it off my mind and must ‘do somethng’ still — who can help me end this situation? I wish to clearly reveal the fascist elements in this situation — of course I’ve been irreparably harmed — but as I still live and breath — I want mostly now to expose this situation. No gag order exists, but how do I get anyone to pay attention to something that though it is horrible – it is now OLD. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
I should add that I got a pacifying and conciliatory letter from the law firm that took this on — I hold them kind of accountable in that having been a legal secretary, I believe they may have made a “backroom” deal — I was told if I criticized the Judge’s decision in any way ‘they’ could make my life hell. The law firm who represented me took it on contingency, however it was a “very good case” — in other words all the standards were supposedly met — and indeed I have been and remain quite damaged. Altho I’d have settled for a mere 30,000 bucks, that which I felt I had actually lost to that fool — and psychiatric help. To merely get “silenced” vis a vis “gag order” with ultimately a judge throwing out a case of merit 2 days before the arbitration I waited a year for. Of course it’s gross legal misconduct — any suggestions? I have made an appointment with the “Director” who was served, but not as “myself”, it’s 10 days away, was thinking to record my confronting him in UTUBE
Of course there is NO LEGAL REMEDY — that is why I’m on this Board. And yes, I should be DONE with it — but you know what — not until I expose the fascist pigs for what they are, thank you. I understand statutes quite well. I’m interested in a creative civic process here.
I appreciate the 2d answer VERY MUCH, and also agree with your wisdom, however in intellect only — a passion still exists or has been borne by this assault against me civilly (not sexually–the insult is felt civilly). I must seek a creative way to end this. I do want to make something out of the visit to the Director that should have by all standards, legal or ethical, passed the complain on to the “board”; I know all that was done, was ‘expertly done’ – but I must protest as it was done to ME. It’s egregious for sure (sp?), I have a mind to tape my appointment confront him on this issue for the UTUBE. By posting anonymously like this, I wish to solve this issue for myself–herein I seek those who might support my effort and advise; I also appreciate and will take under advisement other sincere responses — it’s almost “all let go” but this civic ‘thing’ remains BIG TIME. All together it was an assault of major proportions to my psyche – that is why the anger just won’t quit.
