My god this is so unhinged, Amy. I don't know where to begin. The violence with which Alan's home was treated on the separation/abandonment/kidnapping should have been a huge red flag, at least in retrospect.
There's a strange personal connection, as my mother was a clinical psychologist in the physical reab department of Redlands Hospital in the 90's. As for San Dimas, it was the home of Patti Cox, a woman I haven't thought of in over 30 years. In the late 80's I'd visit there and La Puente where her friend Pamela lived at home. I understand the bizarre and alienating world of the Inland Empire, which hasn't probably become a better human environment than it was in that era.
I really hope that though wiser, you are not too burdened by the trauma and torments of these things.
