I understand how you feel. When I was a teenager (and once as an adult), and my mom would go into the shrink's office (I had several shrinks during my teens and through adulthood) with me, I felt like the shrink sided with her. S/he would automatically believe her. I go by myself now, being an adult, but I wouldn't want someone else there, unless I knew they'd support me.

I didn't use Atlantic County's disabled/senior transportation, so I don't know how they are, but I believe you. I used NJ Transit.

I've depended on family and others and been disappointed, so I'm much more hesitant to do so now. Still, I don't have any other transportation than my boyfriend, so I rely on him. I wish I had a car, but I have no money to get one.
