some rebekah survivors have gone on with their lives, and i am speaking for myself, have survived way worse than rebekah. i know having raised a teenager myself, that some parents really had no choice.for myself, i know i put my parents through alot, and at least i was safe from others and myself.how hard was it? raising children and working full time is a whole hell of alot harder than my time spent at rebekah.i cannot for the life of me figure out why you old rebekah girls cannot simply go on with your lives.do some of you women not have mouthy rebelious teenagers? my mother did the best she could do with me.why dwell on the bad things that happened years ago? god does not want you to walk around with bitter,angry souls. why not instead of getting on here and venting ,go to the legislation and get things changed.it is not helping anyone to hear all of the bad memories.rolling around in the mud doesn't change things,and cannot be making it better.we all know how we were treated at rebekah. no secret to any of us. advice to you, pray to the god that roloff taught you about, forgive your parents, and love yourself enough to not carry around the baggage from years ago.
