More Of What Happened.

Also I should point out while I was at DMC Sinai-Grace 5 South, I was the target of antigay comments and threats. As soon as my room mate accidentally overheard me talk to the staff I guess. Then my room mate eventually made threats against me. He was walking suspiciously by my bed at night. He was just looking at a small fixture on the wall. Maybe the light switch. The staff said he was probably looking for the thermostat. And then I just asked him what he was doing. And right away he started threatening me. So they got me a room to myself and another room mate several times. I was the subject of antigay threats and antigay comments. Even the staff made a couple of antigay comments in front in of the patients and others there once or twice.
I have Cerebral Palsy and cannot defend myself. Plus to be blunt I am not used to that kind of treatment and situation. I have lived a relatively sheltered life. And it was suggested more than once I might be someday going to a group home in Detroit. That can't be allowed to happen. It would be cheaper for my legal guardian Eric. And plus I'd be out of sight and out of his hair there. (When I was at 5 South I had little access to the outside world. That would be a big plus for that too.) I don't know why Detroit is so homophobic. Or more homophobic that surrounding suburbs IAE. It might be due to lack of police enforcement and the social problems we face here. But I would not be safe in a setting like that. And I'm "noncompliant"? I will always need Eric's money and help. But I have always maintained he is the one noncompliant. He doesn't take good care of me. He did better in the past. Then I exposed what a terrible person he was, and he has never forgiven me. Maybe a short stay, like in a jail cell, would make him more compliant. Because I can tell we will be going through this for the rest of my life now.
