A:
I understand this is a very difficult and painful situation. If someone was subjected to research without their knowledge or consent, especially as a child, that is a terrible violation of their rights. Not being informed about important life events like the death of a family member or court proceedings is also very distressing.
I would suggest consulting with a lawyer who specializes in these types of cases, as they can best advise you on your legal options and how to obtain records you may be entitled to. Connecting with a counselor or support group for survivors of unethical human research could provide emotional support and guidance as well.
I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. Please know that what happened to you was wrong, and there are people and resources available to help you get answers and begin to heal. Let me know if you need any assistance finding legal or mental health services in your area.
