I take all responsibality for all I said on Montel.
They were nice and respectful and did all they could to make me comfortable. The people at Montel are truly concerned about their guests. They gave me a chance to tell what happened to me in the hell called Straight.
I wouldn't have been a wreck in the first place if STRAIGHT had not tried to destroy my mind.
So do not take my responce out of contex.
I did Montel b/c I believed that there would be a senator or state rep. Or some one who, has the ability to stop this from happening to another person watcing and that perhaps a parent might think twice before sending his/her kid to a similar place.
THANK YOU MR WILLIAMS FOR LETTING ME SPEAK OOUT TRUTHFULY ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE.
I also want to let you know that the producers of the show called me after a few times to see if I was ok. They also offered me the chance to seek therapy, which they offered to pay for. I declined.
