I'm here to speak the truth, that's all. Not everyone is going to have the same experiences. I realize that. But, it does get a little annoying when I can't say what I personally saw, and experienced, in my 4 1/2 years of placement which consisted of me being in 3 different treatment centers. Without getting verbally attacked, and sometimes disgustingly so.
Niles was never in a program. I don't see why he thinks he is so right, and I am so wrong. Maybe one of his boyfriends was, I don't know?!!
I love the fact a few of you are suggesting I need help, or therapy! Don't you get it? I don't. I am able to talk about things openly, I am not a victim of my past. The blame game is over for me, and has been for some time.
There is quite a few of you that are still playing the victim, and blaming your parents, and these treatment centers for how you turned out. Are you going to do that for the rest of your lives? Because in the beginning, people will cut you some slack. But, not for very long.
As for the parents who are here, and playing the victims themselves, saying how they were lied to, and are pissed off that you bank account is $40,000 less then it used to be. Well, wake up, and smell the coffee. You should have done your homework. You probably did more homework when you purchased your car for crying out loud! If you feel like you didn't get your moneys worth, then that's your problem. You made the choice, now you deal with it.
I can't stand dumb people who don't read contracts, and expect miracles. There are some people who will always feel like they didn't get their monies worth. As you all know programs, and treatment centers, are not a one size fits all. There are kids who will not benefit. There are some who will.
I look forward to the government stepping in to iron out some of the wrinkles some of these private schools have. I do think there needs to be some oversight.
But, I will never stop speaking my mind. I don't care how much people disagree with me. So, get used to it.
