No I did not tell them I would drop it and I did not sign anything. In fact, I told them I was not making any promises of confidentiality and that I reserve the right to tell my story by whatever means I chose. I am aware that Jason was acting in the best interests of HAI and does not care about me. I cannot get them to understand that the way they reacted to the sexual assault-kicking me out of the Ohio community while leaving the perpetrator in and forbidding staff members to talk to me- hurt me worse than the assault did. Paul Black, who was in charge of the event, told Jason he didn't believe me and that was enough for Jason, even though Paul was not in the same room as me. Jason took no action for 19 months but suddenly became interested when an east coast staff member told him I was planning to go public. I had taken levels 1-3, which I liked, and was not prepared for this violation and betrayal. If they had immediately supported me l don't think I would feel so traumatized 2 years later. I also had people sending me discouraging texts and suddenly snubbing me at public events. I tried pressing charges but Jason stated he wouldn't support me if I continued with pressing charges. In the end, Jason "supported" me by kicking me out of the community. Nineteen months later he contacted me and wanted to use mediation, the only outcome is that Paul, Mo, and Eve would have to go through training on dealing with traumatized persons before they could serve on team again. He did make a public apology to me. Paul, Mo, and Eve have never apologized. Oh and perpetrator Jim is not allowed to attend HAI events. There were so many HAI apologists out earlier in this forum, wonder where they ate now?
