Yes, it was sexual, emotional, psychological and financial exploitation.

Possible trigger:

In my grade school years I have been beaten with my dead dog's dog collar until I left my body. I have been terrorized and beaten by my father. My mother didn't stop him. Neighborhood kids tricked me into climbing a tree then beat my bare legs with sticks not letting me climb down. In middle school I was tricked into visiting a friend's house to play parcheesi. A phone call came in for me. It was a guy...calling me!? A male voice on the phone said, "These girls wanted me to tell you they think you're too queer to hang around with.." I dropped the phone. I ran home through snow drifts in my stocking feet.. I never told my parents. No one liked me.

The abuserPdoc knew all these things and more. He still picked me to sexually abuse. He still picked me to trick me out of $5,000 back pay I received from Medicare when my disability came through. He said he was afraid I would spend it all. I never saw it again. He saw a trusting, innocent, unintelligent patient coming and took advantage. I hate me.

The abuse and the litigation (which I lost) has been the most difficult thing I have ever gone through. I'm still going through it.
