I don't expect the NDIS to be trauma aware @Appleblossom because even large public institutions are not, but most workplaces and people know what professional boundaries look like, and why they are so important to maintain a supportive and therapeutic relationship that respects both parties, Corny
@Powderfinger I am same-sex attracted too, I don't have much to give right now I am sorry, my Mum died suddenly last week. It was a complex relationship and her husband/my father, put us all through a lifetime DV. It is way way way more common than people realise in LGBTI relationships. I've experienced realising that someone didn't love me at all, it is so painful. But it got even worse, I realised they didn't even respect me in the most basic of ways which I consider only human. Some people have developmental brain disorders that make the primitive sides of our animal brains more dominant. They can be predatory, aggressive, violent and their social functioning lacks capacity. It's as if they are a unicellular organism. It's all about them. You've taken the 1st step and maybe there are some legal avenues you could get advice on to make it more concrete, Corny
