I was there from about 8/86 through 6/97. I try not to think about being there but I still have nightmares and how I interact with people is still affected by the abuse I suffered...
Full of shit...
Staight incorp, straight incorp... early in the morning, late in the evening...
the news people came to interview us and I appeared on the show to say we weren't brainwashed. I was to afraid not to tell the truth.
I finally escaped and carry the physical and emotional scars to this day, at 35 y.o..... One thing I remember vividly is Kim (on of the counselors) wearing my high school ring in preparation for her date that night. I hope her fat ass got crabs again after stealing my things. It's just a ring, but I bought it and it meant something back then.
Heard she was using again anyway.... good for her. Sorry for being vile and hateful, but that's what Straight gave me.
