OCTOBER IS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH
AN ANSWER – Regain control with a certified ADAAA advocate to be by
your side, another brain to pick you
up and put you back on track when the
verbal cyclones hit.
Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act
Abusers are often coercive controllers
setting “perfect
storms” in motion to remove civil rights from the abused.
The abused say, “The court only made it worse.” “It wasted assets, elevated conflict, created
unbearable risk, and stress.”
Men and women lose their basic civil rights by intimate
partner injury. The abused become:
- financially deprived as the abuser commandeers all assets;
- isolated and threatened as the fearless abuser widens their audience bolstering their position;
- invisible tyranny causes invisible injuries like PTSD which when diagnosed qualifies you for ADAAA accommodations;
- coercive controllers overpower their spouse as they probably have a lawyer and you are possibly pro se allowing them to use the court as a weapon;
- character slandered creates false and negative perceptions of you in court and community;
- afraid to invoke the ADAAA for protection due to the outdated myths that it will bias the judge. cost credibility, or worse, custody of children, the abused confirms the helplessness the abuser feeds on;
- frozen in a moment, without a voice, you need a strong advocate to step up on your behalf.
THE LEGAL GAME
CHANGER is the ADAAA and a trained ADA advocate
- is mandated federal protection for PTSD and other illnesses and injuries
- traumatic stress is a psychic injury NOT a mental illness
- using the ADAAA is confidential and not to be part of the litigation
- traumatic stress impairs expressive speech – the advocate is as critical as a foreign language interpreter for litigation
- Legal abuses must not compound domestic abuses
Without effective advocacy and the ADAAA
you are relying on an umbrella in a hurricane.
