This may be a continuation of Jorge’s thread entitled Battling social services. As a man I doubt I will ever experience rape in the sense of sexual assault but I along with many others have experienced a form of rape by the sadists who call themselves human service workers and it was a gang rape. Detatching myself from their brand of help was the best thing I could have done. It’s been a long time but my level of anger towards them remains very fresh in my mind. I am usually not one to hold a grudge but this is more than a grudge. I feel their antics was an assault on the very essence of me so perhaps my assertion that these pricks are evil is somewhat distorted but the facts say otherwise. After talking with other people with other disabilities it has become increasingly clearer that my situation and the others on this board are the rule not the exception.
If I ever darken the door of a VR dungeon it will be to give them crap. Someone please tell me why I am wrong to believe that human sevrices and particularly VR is downright evil.
Re: Learned helplessness and the rape of the human spirit...
I had a VR counselor apologize to me for what they put me through. I ran into him on the street and he couldn’t apologize enough. He told me he was just doing time until retirement. Mind you, this guy was no ball of fire but he did have some shred of humanity left. The system is designed to fail because failure bring more funding and more funding means more money for scams and kick backs. Back then it was called OVR. Now it’s called VESID.
I reattached with VESID in 92 after injuring my neck and the witch I got for a counselor was evil incarnate. I’ll never forget my first meeting with her. She was dressed like a tramp. Thick make up and a very short dress and she seemed unable to cross her legs. I was all business. Mostly because I’m a gentleman but also because she’s ugly. In retrospect maybe I should have flirted and stroked her ego. I’ve since found that she tends to have a thing for her male clients. Seems that when she realiized that I wouldn’t be playing hide the salami with here the chances of getting services. It took her 2 years to obtain my medical records. Thats about all she did. She did hook me up with another bunch of screw-ups called RCIL They needed clients to justify a TBI services grant.(something they were not qualfied to do) but hey it’s free money and a clever grant writer is all it takes. There were no able bodied hetero-sexual males working at RCIL. The hens that worked there were all decent looking wich is unusual for the Mohawk Valley area where obesity is epidemic.
So I think qualifications were based on looks and willingness to take dictation from the O.R.I.T.H.H. Only rooster in the hen house. The hens definately had attitude and the rooster wanted no competition.
Interview with a vampire: I’d love to give a retired VESID senior counselor truth serum and learn all the dirt. But what I’d really like to know is how much $$$ get spent and how many clients get helped.

Re: Learned helplessness and the rape of the human spirit...
It is stories like this that makes one want to go to basically thrash those losers with a switch. No one should go through stuff like this.
Re: Learned helplessness and the rape of the human spirit...
lol .I know no one is reading this but that was the funniest thing Ive heard for a while. I hope no one believed that story.
Re: Learned helplessness and the rape of the human spirit...
Dear Joan
I am really sorry that you are having to face all of those people and that your children are being treated in the way they are. I hope that you will not give up hope as there are people in the world who do not think as they do.
I hope that you manage to get your car fixed and that your daughter does not hurt herself, I too believe in God and I think that what you give out is what you get. If those people hurt you then they will be hurt but it is not our place to do the hurting. I don’t think harming anyone ever did any good. For your daughters sake and the sake of your other children you must not give in.
Warm wishes
Jacqui

You think we could send some of these DVR proffesionals to the International Court for the Hauge for human rights violations ? Hee…Haw. Let them squak like chickens.
