Continued the cycle of abuse is right. And the second one was more aware at least openly of this problem with the first because she too had had a similar experience. I am wondering if she sorta continued the cycle of her own abuse?

They are both private practice. The woman doesn't have someone in charge of her billing; in fact, I looked her up in the course of preparing for my trial and she has had to file for bankruptcy so she has money issues of her own.


One of the main issues was financial from the beginning so she was aware the entire time that being disabled and having someone much older who has dementia and a fraudulent money handler was a serious problem. In fact, she seemed perfect because she understood the issues from her own life of taking care of her mother.

It's unclear the timing or if she was "just forgetful" but she had advance notice early in the month that there are very serious potential "end up on the streets under a bridge" and "sell your body" issues. That was discussed openly because the first therapist said that thinking it was a clever joke...gross. He actually told me to live in a tent or that prison would at least keep me fed and sheltered. So it was part of the abusive treatment of the first discussed openly with the second.

None of this is funny or okay. I really don't get how they think they can do such things. That is just impossible to begin to understand how someone who goes into helping vulnerable people actually endangers them and hurts them emotionally at a very critical moment when there is no energy left over to deal with anything more and then walk away as if nothing happened?
