When I was stupid enough to reach out for help last year, they joked about how the legal three day hold only counted for business days, so they could hold me for a full week. They really do not like doing one day stays.
They threw away my grievance forms - I was physically assaulted by staff, had vape smoke blown in my face. I ended up losing my job because I disappeared without being able to communicate and they didn’t give me work release forms.
It was really my final straw with the entire system. My mother used troubled teen facilities and hospitals when I was a child to punish me for speaking up about her alcoholism and sexual abuse - I’ve never seen the system work.

Oh my god that’s awful
Sorry you experienced that. I hope there’s something to eventually counter all that you’ve dealt with.
Universe doesn’t care, but we do.
