Ok. I jumped the gun a little on that post. I didn't have the context and once I read down a few more posts I realized that. Forgive me. It's just that since I've been reading through these there are people who want to talk shit and I was feeling protective.
I still won't smoosh with them though.
And, yeah, I really don't think that the tallies will be complete for a long long time (if ever) on the residual long-lasting effects on those who've been through these programs. I think it's ignorant and foolish for anyone to think that they can speak for anyone who's been there, or to predict how anyone will come through it. It's a completely personal experience. We may share certain similar memories, feelings, etc, but like anything else, it's subjective. Plus, considering abuse, one may get through it unscathed while another will not. It's a crap shoot.
Ok. That's all. Sorry again for the misunderstanding.
