Thank you Melissa - A wwasp mom told me to come to this site and form my own opinion. Our family needs a lot of work and from what I've read, seen, people I've talked with personally, including the teens that had been there, wwasps, so far, has exactly what we need. They've answered my questions, both positive and negative and told me what I need to know, not what I need to hear. Why else would I be here. I've seen that most of this is NOT about abuse, but about issues with a spouse, a parent, an organization, but not about what really matters. We can no longer do this alone, in our home, and that is the hardest part of all of this. I can take your attacks, your judgment, but I've been here this evening with the mom, reading and will sleep on it. Melissa, I really don't see anything you've written that would convince me that your "abuse" was with this program, but with your issues with your dad and his girlfriend. I would not have chosen Dundee due to it's location, nor Mexico. I really, really have good feelings about Utah The kids I've talked to explained to me about restraints and when they're used - the levels and when they get certain priviledges, the parent seminars which i'm really excited about and hanging in there during the next year or two while we're bringing our family to a healthier place.
I knowabout the referral program and my friend is turning it over to me, as a single mom, to help me defray the cost of the admission, if I choose to go ahead with this.
So, bring it on, tell me what a bad parent I am for doing this, tell me how terrible wwasp is and quote newspaper articles, I've read them all. I've read all the bickering and attacks here and it shows me that this is not where I want to get my info from. I have the most respect for Carey and what she has shared. I guess that makes me crazy too.
I don't choose to live my life in the past anymore and am doing something, the best thing, for all of us. I'll check back and let you all know how it's going.
