@WesternMassRLC I wish I could. Amazing that this goes on. That this passes for "humane treatment".
@openexcellence @RaiWaddingham @WesternMassRLC When I was 16 I visited a doctor and told him I had been abused in care.He gave me a script that started 25 yrs of addiction.2 weeks ago age 60 I went to a doctor and told him I was having flashbacks and he reached for his script pad. No I said. You people need to learn to talk.
