The entire situation is fucked, and is about me trying to get an abusive TTI facility investigated. But everything I’m reading online suggests that my life is pretty much over.
Email the elan.school guy and ask his advice?
What is a VPO? What is TTI?
“Victim protective order” “troubled teen industry” = “unregulated child abuse facilities you can send your child to if you don’t feel like parenting”
VPOs are usually for abusive ex’s that strangle you or like show up to your work months after you break up. But if you are a wealthy child torture facility, I guess it means whatever you want.
With no other info, I think the only advice available is that you should consult a lawyer for their advice. We neither know your legal jurisdiction, nor the timeline between “trying to get an abusive TTI investigated” and “I got a VPO against me”.
The details in-between matter, but ultimately, if you’re subject to any type of restraining order, that will be controlling for whatever actions it prohibits you from doing. And the only way to lift that is to seek a lawyer’s help to challenge it in court.
I can’t afford a lawyer. So it looks like my options are to become an hero.
Child abuse is legal in the US as long as you claim to be “treating” teenagers for whatever. The TTI has zero regulation and enough money to stay that way.
Some law firms will offer free initial consultations. Ask around, see what some may offer
I have. I’ve spent a whole fucking year trying.
My ex got to torture me and kick me out of my house, there was no “free legal consultation” then.
I am so fucking sick of people pretending that help exists, and it makes me want to off myself publicly so people know it doesn’t and they’ll shut the fuck up. The US is fucking broken.
Thing is, legal help does exist in many places. Most of it is geared towards afab people experiencing partner abuse though. That’s why people ask for location before giving advice - some places aren’t advanced enough to recognize that abuse is far ranging and widespread
You dont deserve to be brushed off, or kicked out of your home
Regardless of whether I deserved it it already happened. There’s help for AFAB people who are cis, the rest of us are shit out of luck. I’m more worried about the VPO because that leads to not being able to get a job anymore
No they wont lol. Killing yourself will accomplish literally nothing. In fact, it would make things worse cause of all the fuckers that want you dead. Keep living to spite them, it’s what I do.
Lifepro tip: if you’ve never heard people use an acronym in real life, don’t use it yourself
