Thank you all for your empathy. I want to seek some sort of action about my past abuse, as well as setting things straight, through the Disability Rights Network of PA. They called me back today and told me they can only guide me as to what direction I can go to help myself. They denied having any lawyers or legal help at their office. I found this totally unacceptable. I have contacted an independant lawyer today. The consultation alone will cost a whopping $125. I live on SSDI, but am willing to forgo one of my bills (Comcast) in order to pay this lawyer. I probably won't be able to afford many, or any, of the future fees incurred if he were to handle this account, unless he can work on contingency. The pro bono services in my area are really not reliable, and they don't usually follow through with any of the claims they receive. At least that is what many people I know who have received services there say about them. Although, I am so desperate at this point, I left a message at their offices. I haven't heard back as of yet. It is tiring for me just to obtain the type of help and services I feel I need at this time. And, I know the pressures will become worse if any of these issues were to go to trial. But, you know what they say, "You have to die from something." At least, I will die trying, if it should come to that.
