I am, by no means, trying to stir up anything - just a couple questions for the OP...
If you're 27 now, and you were in Stoughton in the 80's, that means you were 7 or 8 years old at the time. Perhaps you're 37 now? Or did the program run out of teenagers after I left and had to resort to younger and younger victims?
I have a difficult time understanding how anyone who was locked up in there has gone twenty years without thinking about the place. It's in my head daily - sometimes ALL day.
Still, glad you've found the place. I wish you well. It's posts like yours that will be the only thing that saves this board from the trolls and scumbags.
Welcome.
