Jennifer,

I am sorry that you have experienced such trauma and lack of support.

Even though you spoke of not wanting to accept help you may want to consider therapy for this.  Is there a support group you can attend to help you in this?

Not that I am a lawyer but you may want to look into the option for you to bring a law suit against the hospital.

If there is a union at the hospital you might want to get their help in this as well.

Take care,

Mark
