14. She's gone

Found out overheard she was stealing 100,000 bucks in funds meant for the program.. She's been locked up since and the program is being manages by a totally different company now.That place has too many bad memories..But this scam went really deep,into a peer run program out here. after the director's puppet left I found out when we were cleaning out her office some weird fucking shit,she was involved in a christian based nutrition supplement scam. And she had some weird obsession with me of all people.It was so fucked up.

And there was another incident at a program I was in out here in the 80's. The director who was there when I arrived was talking on the phone one day.As the song I was listening to ended..I was waiting in the lunch line leaning against the office window.The soon to be ex director was talking to some guy about wiring him 125,000 in program funds to the Dominican Republic.I only overheard this scheme because I still had my headphones on.The guy left the program the very next day after I heard this and the next day a new director was his replacement .She was from the Dominican Republic ironically.. I had a great therapist at the time.I told him what I heard from the director the day before he left.I told him my suspicions. He listened to me and said he had to report this. Told him I would be willing to write a statement or witness to what I heard if needed.


Meanwhile the staff who clustered around this new director tormented the fuck out of me,They threatened to kick me out of housing,the program etc. Total intimidation tactics.Such bullshit. Meanwhile the other staff were supportive of me but parsed their words around the director.One supportive staff wrote me a sweet poem I have to this day.
I have all the papers from this whole mess in my files.
Anyway the program was shut down. My therapist at the time put his ass on the line for me. FBI got involved. I was interviewed twice.
When the program shut down he decided to accept my medical assistance so I could see him privately. I had him as my therapist until he retired. I still think about him and wonder how he is or if he is still around.

I always seem to end up where corruption or abuse is occurring in psych settings.Don't know why. Sometimes it seems my life purpose is to stand up against shitty authority.

I have a lot of experiences in this vein going through the years.
