You probably are being too hard on yourself. We were afraid of each other because that's how humans, especially young humans, behave in groups. Part of maturity is learning, either overtly or not, how to navigate that whole mess while inventing some kind of independence and self determination. We weren't there yet, nowhere near. We got blindsided. Good people, even wonderful people, often got taken in by the slight of mind.

If there is a God, he is a malign thug.

No need to hate yourself for being in straight. You were a kid and kid's minds are still developing until the age of 25 or so (so I hear). They used cult tactics to get to all of us and it would be hard for any kid to not break from all that shit. straight even won in regards to people that misbehaved by treating them in even worse and inhumane ways. Sometimes I think some staff secretly loved people that misbehaved so they could have an excuse to torture them. there were no winners in straight. Everyone was damaged regardless of how much they resisted. Of course there will be a few that proudly say straight saved their life blah, blah. blah. Brainwashing seems to have long lasting effects in these cases.

am looking for people who survived Straight in Plymouth, Michigan. I miss a lot of people there and wonder what happened and would like to stay in touch.

I concur.  I was affected even though I resisted, sometimes actively, sometimes passively, sometimes just by "conning" my way to a higher phase where I would have a better chance to 'cop out' (which I did twice).  I was still affected by the shit---It's kinda like exposure to radiation, it's gonna get you if you're exposed to it for long enough in the intensity we were exposed to.

" why did you think anyone would or could rescue you."

that is a damn good question.

I thought it though. Got over it and realized the shit wasn't gonna happen but... waited for saving in the begining

I was never brainwashed.
They attempted it but it didn't take.
