Anyone else sent to San Marcos Treatment Center in San Marcos, TX or any other TTI program that allowed wrongful incarceration?

I was there back in 2010 through tricare. The US military did NOT care about the ongoing abuse at home at the hands of my mom and stepdad, just the “problem child” who wouldn’t shut up about their mom’s addictions and DV. The MPs (military police) would rather say the child is the perp and the parents are the victims, instead. My words over my parents, right? I was given the illusion of a choice. “We have ways of making you sign this,” they told me. They kept me in the SHU for 2 weeks after refusing to sign the intake paperwork when I first arrived. I got SA’d by the orderlies and fellow “patients” once I was in a room and finally caved into signed the intake paperwork. There was so many non-consensual medical tests run on me, including partially shaving my head in spots and so many kinds of injections I don’t even remember most of my time with the testing tbh, I was very heavily medicated. The kicker? My mom was so adamant to commit me bc I refused to cave in to her gaslighting over who my bio dad was and our heritage. She made military doctors and therapists believe I was lying about our family background (when she remarried my white stepdad he legally adopted us and she demanded we claim we were Italians and not Dominican and Puerto Rican and that my stepdad is in fact my bio dad even though I very clearly remembered him, if I didn’t comply I got so many beatings) and all the bruises on me I did to myself. The crazy thing is that the drs and counselors did eventually caught on that I wasn’t lying and it’s my mother who’s manipulating the situation. And yet still did nothing, just let her pull me out early once they caught on. Tricare and the US military let me get committed over blatant racism and Munchausen by proxy from my mother. She used the gypsy rose Blanchard case as an example of a daughter plotting to hurt her mother to get me committed, too, istg. It’s been 14 years and it still haunts me. I’m 29 and my memory is so bad bc of untreated concussions from my mom and the drugs they gave me in the TC. The nightmares are still horrendous, too. If I don’t take my medication I stay awake to avoid the nightmares. I have the same recurring one of waking up in the SHU again, as if the life I built for myself in reality is just a pipe dream and I never really left.
