^ This.

You need a trusted advisor on your side who can look at it with a calm mind and perspective on what is normal, acceptable, and legal. You're young and have been slapped around, seemingly inappropriately.

If you were in physical pain, you'd talk to a doctor to assess and get recommendations before treatment. Do the same here.

Trusted advisor doesn't need to be lawyer. Can be trusted professor.

No, you need someone who will represent YOUR interests both in public and private.

When the stakes are exceptionally high, don't ask for advice from someone paid by the agressor.
