How Do Survivors Feel About Their Parents?

Anon - seems like you don't live your life with "what if's."  

I know it must have been a hard decision, and I think you said you were on this board because another parent, someone in trouble, saw this site and came to you.  Whatever happened?  :wink:

You're right.  "What If" is a very scarey place!

Mom, dad and son are doing okay.  Mom quit her job and is homeschooling right now.  I'm so happy for her, she's less stressed and is enjoying her new role.  Their issues weren't nearly as severe as mine were, mostly school and friends, but they seem to be working it out!  YES!

Thanks - I wasn't sure if you were the same ANON or not -just thought I'd ask.  Good!  It's always better to work it out at home if at all possible.   :wink:

I can only say that just recently have I been able to open up and tell my mom of all the horrific shit that went on at Straight. I was only there for a few months but that was enough to change my life forever. I was made to feel like a was a worthless, useless, piece of shit druggie and mind you the fucked up part is that I NEVER EVEN DID DRUGS to begin with. The whole Straight thing was nothing more than a bunch of money hungry bastards. I do admit I had a lot of family problems plus I was raped at the age of 14 so that had a lot to do with my mental state of mind. But did Straight care... Well HELL NO.    :flame:   Where my mom is concerned I've held a grudge for over 14 years now but we are finally starting to have a descent relationship again because I don't want it to be too late for me to say I love you to her and her not be here anymore to appologize because she had no idea as to what was going on at Straight. She was literally clueless and I never mentioned it because it just hurt me too much to talk about all the abuse. I just hope that if there are any victims of treatment facilties out there that haven't dealt with it yet please do becasue trust me when you do you will feel a whole hell of a lot better about yourself. Well I've already written too much so I'll leave it on that note.
