I am truly sorry you were taken advantage of. You spelled it out very clearly for us, even though this write up must have taken some time. I’m sorry too, that you have tried to get help and support without luck. I know you said that you contacted the attorney who was on the sex abuse case without any luck there. Just trying to brainstorm: I’m curious what kind of response you might get in r/legal. Since it’s the internet, it’s normal if some might not be helpful but there might be some good advice there too.

I don’t know if it’s any good but there is a way to get legal representation for a relatively cheap monthly fee through Legal Shield. It gets mixed reviews: some people very pleased, others not pleased. If you go that route it’s good to check on the contract terms (is there a length of contract, especially).

Good on you for surviving all this. You seem more competent than I think I would be if I had endured this treatment.
