Yes he is living with Leslie and Ashley.
He is doing good from what I see and he
tells me. He told me he isn't ready to
read everything or post yet. Maybe someday.

Thats good to hear. I dont see a reason to push him into posting here either. This will be archived and whenever he feels like it, if ever, he can do so. I didn't start to think about my stay for years, I wanted to leave it behind me. Maybe he'll want to do the same.

I understand as well. It is a very traumatic thing for a kid to go through. Sometimes, you get out, and you just don't want to talk about it. Sometimes, you want to pretend it never happened.

Eventually, he will talk about it. It's just a matter of when the time is right for Alex. I can, and will totally respect that.

I will ask every so often how he is doing though, and hopefully one day he can maybe tell me/us himself.

When I was raped and otherwise abused, I literally could not talk about it for years.  It was like the words were paralyzed down in my throat.

A friend who was hideously abused by a real-life wicked stepmother had taken years and years to be able to talk about it at all.

My brother in law doesn't talk much about combat in Iraq.  He's with the 101st Air Assault, training Iraqis, so he's seen quite a lot of it, as the Iraqi troops are a big target of the terrorists.  He's gotten a purple heart and had multiple IEDs blow up under trucks he's been in.  Fortunately, only one of them got through the truck to actually wound him.  He's already told my father in law that he won't want to talk about it much when he comes home.

Whether Alex can't talk about it yet, or is just so busy with his real life that he's not interested in logging on and talking to total strangers about his life, it's great to hear that he's back in his hometown and doing well.

He has talked to us about it.

He said he hasn't read the site yet.
He will when he is ready and has 2
or 3 days.

I think he hasn't because he has been
told about all the crap in the beginning.
I don't think he wants to deal with that
yet. I could be wrong. I haven't asked
why he hasn't I am just assuming.

He knows when he reads all of this he will have to deal with many of the lies told by the family he is living with now.  Especially the bridge lie.  That was a big one.  Also, the many things said about his family who he does still love.  He does know this.  But you are right CCM girl he wants to get started with his life and put this behind him.

Oh, for god's sake, Shelly! Yes, this was getting to be a very big, very ugly brawl there for awhile. I hope that, one day, all parties will OK my tying their anon posts to usernames. You'd be damned surprised and enlightened yourself to find out who was actually throwing guns into that fight, I'm sure.

Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.

Over a long time, I've noticed that "truth" about engineering or murder is definite, but "truth" about interpersonal issues often has a lot to do with perspective and who you ask.

There is an absolute truth about the actual words and actual events, and then there are all the nuances of the *way* people say and do what they say and do.

A lot of the time, when two people tell you about some disagreement, the person who tells you exactly what was said and done, word and action perfect, is being actively misleading about *how* it was done, in a situation where how it was done radically changes the context of the whole situation.

Notice I said *actively* misleading---active doesn't mean intentional.  A lot of the most misleading people in the world just live in denial or are very good at lying to themselves.

Alex's experiences have diverged so much from the experiences of anyone else who knew him before that I don't think anyone can truly predict how he's going to feel about anything or anyone involved.

I did say that I was assuming. Everyone
can assume. I didn't try to say I knew
exactly why. Like I said I haven't asked
him.

No I wouldn't be surprised.  As stated earlier in this thread, when I found out what was coming from my home computer I put a stop to it and got myself a screenname so there would be no mistake who was saying what.

That's not what I'm talking about, Shelly. Some of the more inflamatory stuff was coming from hotels in California or Montana. Now, what do you make of that?

I do have one serious question that maybe you could answer. How did WWASP get their hooks into this family? Did they go looking on the net? Or did one of the evangelical toughlove devout recruit them personally? Do you know?

An Animated Cartoon Theology:
1. People are animals.
2. The body is mortal and subject to incredible pain.
3. Life is antagonistic to the living.
4. The flesh can be sawed, crushed, frozen, stretched, burned, bombed, and plucked for music.
5. The dumb are abused by the smart and the smart destroyed by their own cunning.
6. The small are tortured by the large and the large destroyed by their own momentum.
7. We are able to walk on air, but only as long as our illusion supports us.
-- E. L. Doctorow "The Book of Daniel"

Sorry I misunderstood.  Are you saying the lies are coming from the schools?  I can believe that.  From what I have learned here and other places, they are in it for the money.  Helping the kids with their problems is secondary.  It's just like everything else in this world, money talks.  They researched on the internet for a place that would help Alex.
