To think that surely known coercion invalidates medical consent ?

[Coercion]

If all medical professionals are aware that a patient is being coerced/forced and this was in their medical notes then any consent given is invalidated ?

Im in a situation where it being told that’s not The case - that if I signed then it’s valid consent despite the fact they recorded on multiple occasions my disclosures of abuse and being forced, coerced and threatened. They even witnessed it and noted it.

Im told ‘ultimately you were an adult and consented’

This isn’t right is it ?

This ^^

I think the reason you can't let go of this is because as you've got older you're realising that an 18 year old doesn't need permission from their mother to go out, own a phone or make life changing decisions.

I was locked in some days and I couldn’t just pick up a phone. I remember on one occasion being locked in and kicking the door handle to try and break the lock and I couldn’t do it as wasn’t strong enough. I tried to get out of a window but couldn’t as it was an upstairs one. She left that door handle broken for years and would tell anyone who would listen it was criminal damage by me and how she couldn’t afford to fix it

Therapy. Lots and lots. You deserve to be heard and your pain validated and helped to heal and move on.

@Coercion I'd like you to know I hear you, believe what happened to you was appalling and abusive.
I am also having therapy for PTSD. It's very difficult isn't it? I often don't want to go, but I have waited so long (35 years & 2 years on a waiting list) and always feel a sense of achievement when I leave the house to go.
Good luck with your journey, everyone deserves to be happy 🌺
