Be a monster

I'm not saying nobody is to blame. There is a very specific asshole who screwed you over. There are decisions specific people should answer for. Demanding justice, getting back what's yours, asking for help: all of that is normal. But sometimes “Who's to blame?” quietly becomes the only question you're still willing to answer. Because the next one is much more uncomfortable. “What can I do now?” You can't get away with a convincing story there. You'll have to try something. Maybe get rejected again. Discover that some of your own decisions were shitty too. Learn something you don't know how to do yet.
