not to rain on people's parades......

my ex retained Williams & Connelly, one of the best law firms in the country - was both ollie north's and bill clinton's law firm - despite that, my ex  did not win in the original case as their client, my ex, did not listen to his own lawyers advice......

the point??

the law works in very confining ways, it is an animal unto itself, not always just or good, it just is.....

the symbol, the lady with the scales, she is blindfolded as the law does not look down and pity "hurt" people, it just executes, the law, regardless.....

nobody would (or should not) come to a place like HLA unless they are in a very hurt situation with incredible challenges (unfortunately, HLA has intimate knowledge of ALL our deepest challenges, kinda like the enemy getting a free peek or your playbook, sucks)

this will have to be a time that all of us "hurt people", "suck it up" and work very hard not to get "triggered" or react when bucci gets "down and dirty", which he will and comes on the offensive...

thems just the breaks..

the nastier he is, the less sympathetic the court will be to him, eventually, if this case wins, so just laugh at his stupidity

if you don't think he personally reads these posts to glean what he can for court, you might underestimate his ego driven need to "win at all costs" and be "right"....

some of us are familiar with this personality type....  intamately

hopefully, so is the court and they will stay one step ahead...

something to pray for....

Earlier someone said that some of the students or former students would get on the stand and say "If not for HLA I'd be in jail or dead". Well I want to know about the former students who are dead. Some of which died from the same behaviors they exhibited proir to thier 18 to 24 months at Hidden Lake. Has no one taken the time to consider them? I consider myself one of the lucky ones; having come through the program some 6 years ago, I have managed to keep out of serious trouble and forgive my parents for sending me to HLA.

       *Hidden Lake not only fails to help people through thier issues they create more issues for young adults to face.*

Thank you.

Actually I have wondered a great deal about the kids who went through this program and where they are today. Some of the issues these children were/are dealing with are so severe and needed help way beyond what HLA states they can provide. I wonder about the kids who were suicidal, the kids who were so involved in drugs, the kids who had eating disorders, the kids who mutilated themselves... Are they well? Are they alive? Did they fall further into despair? The kids who speak out against HLA are so angry - and rightfully so. I wonder how much they are consumed by that anger and if they are ever able to truly make peace with it and move on. It really makes me sad to think about it.

You sound like an apologist yourself. Can I ask what your connection to HLA is?

I'm a parent who pulled her kid out of HLA when I realized what a farce the place was.... my concern is genuine.

Thank you for apologizing, but it's not necessary. I know how bad they treated you. I'm glad you're on here standing up to HLA and speaking for so many students that went through the same you did.

Most of us are doing well in life. Don't confuse our desire to see HLA held responsible for their action with being "consumed by anger". I lead a perfectly happy life outside of this site and lawsuit. This is... oh, I guess you could call it a pleasurable side project. Make no mistake, HLA definitely cause significant damages in our lives. But I refuse to let it continue to dominate the life I've created in spite of the 23 months I was there.

These are my sentiments exactly. Wanting to see someone exposed for what they and have the truth brought to life is not about anger or revenge. It's about doing the right thing and preventing others from suffering as we did. I'm perfectly content with my life right now and HLA hasn't had any hold over me since the moment I got out of there.

Besides the best revenge is proving them wrong, their claims about me failing in life or being "dead or in jail within three weeks" is a little past due and the complete opposite from how things turned out. Despite their best efforts to the contrary.

Funny how that always brings a smile to my face.  :D

I knew you would succeed, RB (if you are who I think you are).  You were too persistent and hard headed not to succeed. :D

If and when this goes to trial. I would like to be in the court room. The only thing is I wish Mike Witherspoon and Greg Lyndsey were also there, and having to try to defend their actions. To bad they abondoned a sinking ship like rats!

Ditto. Meredith Burns and Arnold Zilberkant too.

Arnold Zilberkant - Denied


ouch.  arnold, you are most likely going to get served with a subpeona, my friend.  practicing therapy without a license is a real no-no.  of course, you should already know that.  whatever little lenny did to convince you otherwise is probably now going to take a big bite out of your ass.

Actually you CAN do therapy without a license as long as you are under the direct supervision of someone with a license.  In this case, he would have been under the supervision of Len Buccellato.

Unfortunately Len was only authorized to supervise three therapist. However he somehow came to believe that three and 23 are the same number.
