Abolish ALL Conservatorships Now! (State/Fed Lvls)
@EndConservator
30/Asian/He/Him/AroAce. In a hopeless abusive cship since 2011. You freed Britney, please free me too. Abolish ALL cships! Seeking literally any help. ?'s/DM OK
Sorry for the fresh account, I'm new here! I made this account to spread awareness of the plight of everyday people like me who are stuck in abusive conservatorships. #FreeBritney, and please don't forget there're also regular people who are also stuck in the same situation.
@RoofLesser@DonPGarza1 @committablepod @ClareCortright@robwipond@AndyHrmnpriest1 @kevinmnye1 I can't remember if the "D" stands for Durable or Designated but the explanation I heard was that I could pick the person and they would only step in to assist me if I asked them to (whereas a conservator can be authoritarian sometimes, and the law tends to empower that aspect)
@RoofLesser@DonPGarza1 @committablepod @ClareCortright@robwipond@AndyHrmnpriest1 @kevinmnye1 If there's any good info about the idea of replacing a conservator with a DPOA, I'd love to pass it along to my current rep to ask about it, so if you've got anything, feel free to send it my way, thanks. From what I can gather, it might be something like a lesser known tactic
@RoofLesser@DonPGarza1 @committablepod @ClareCortright@robwipond The thing is, my current Csors already adopted me years ago when I was a kid, and I'll also look into whether they have the legal power to stop me from going this route.
@JackMic11633310@MEB_Justice Yeah I'm thinking a letter writing campaign or something similar might be a good start especially since my Cship started improperly (the correct intake process was not followed)
@RoofLesser@DonPGarza1 @committablepod @ClareCortright@robwipond My personal experience + what others tell me, family courts vary greatly per town due to being less regulated, so it makes the entire Cship discourse very hard to navigate since my experiences on what actually works would have to be taken w/ salt outside 2-3 specific courthouses
@RoofLesser@DonPGarza1 @committablepod @ClareCortright@robwipond I've learned of alternatives like Supported Decision Making, and I've also heard of the idea of replacing a conservator with a DPOA of my choice but I don't know the full details of that one (yet, since I want to learn more). Courts may not always support these
@JackMic11633310 I get my own mail. As far as I know the only reason my csors don't do the mail thing is that they might not be aware of it, since I hear so many other Cship abuse victims went through that
Quick reminder. As a victim of an abusive Conservatorship, I cannot vote. Please consider asking your candidate if they are willing to abolish the institution of Cship as a whole, and if not, consider changing your vote. I get taxed, yet cannot have any real voice in govt.
@JackMic11633310@MEB_Justice Under maritime law, anyone outside of specific circumstances like broken-down boats, is required to approach and help with a rescue! But I understand your analogy. Crime victims have a "duty to report", but authority figures don't always observe a "duty to investigate"
@RoofLesser@DonPGarza1 @committablepod @ClareCortright@robwipond This is true. I'm very cognizant of the likelihood that most Cship victims in the US don't go online or aren't allowed to, so I'm glad to answer questions anyone asks me, with the caveat that I may not know info pertaining outside of CT and/or from very different circumstances
@RoofLesser@ClareCortright@DonPGarza1 @committablepod @robwipond @KonstantineinCA For the time being will JD work? (think "john doe" in an anonymity sense but read/said like a two letter nickname)
@RoofLesser@DonPGarza1 @committablepod @ClareCortright@robwipond --Even now that ppl are somewhat aware Cship is an actual thing, a lot of people I meet in-person who have actual power to help one way or another choose not to wield it and do nothing (I call this "Ostritching" because it has more brevity than "Neville Chaimberlaining")
@RoofLesser@DonPGarza1 @committablepod @ClareCortright@robwipond It's also subject to what people either don't see or don't want to see. I remember when ppl used to think cship itself was literally not even real before Britney so I couldn't even explain my situation or they would label me "crazy" and distance themselves. Conversely--
@RoofLesser@DonPGarza1 @committablepod @ClareCortright@robwipond Thought of that or even other countries, but everyone I ask has a different answer on the legality and feasibility/surviveability of it and what issues might/might not crop up.
@RoofLesser@ClareCortright@DonPGarza1 @committablepod @robwipond @KonstantineinCA That said, if freed, I want to write a book as a fundraiser of sorts, with the proceeds forming an NGO to abolish all Cships by working w/ targeted legal teams to advance legislation that supports abolishing cship/gship in favor of better alternatives that respect human rights
@RoofLesser@ClareCortright@DonPGarza1 @committablepod @robwipond @KonstantineinCA Nice to meet you all! I apologize I haven't given my name yet, I've heard my Csors can sue me for talking about my Cship even when I can 100% prove the info to be true. I have no idea if they google "our" last name (I very much want to change mine) so I'm careful on public posts
@RoofLesser@DonPGarza1 @committablepod @ClareCortright@robwipond My first thought from this was "wow look at the Ouroburos chowing down on its its own tail as the conservator withholds haircuts, shaving materials, shampoo etc in order to keep Cship going"
