Let me announce something: Other than the latest week or so (paper route making it hard) me and Perrigaud talked almost ever freaking night for quite a while, buddy.
Also, guess what she had to say? She thinks the program is corrupt and full of a lot of shit that needs to be changed. Wowzers?!
Oh, and guess what else... the program really didnt do shit except give her distance from her family and access to a therapist. Thats like giving the road credit for a trucker on a long haul!
But anyway, as I already said, programs are very much not necessary. Ginger and her girl got by juuust fine, and we got by fine before programs existed.
And, sorry to say, I've still yet to see a program be able to do any good except provide distance and access to a therapist (for an extra fee) - which virtually anyone, or any business could provide! Plus, those seminars are fucking bullshit, and the 'structure' and isolation is often times a BAD thing.
The structure is apparently redundant, excessive, and geared towards conformity and breaking the kid down, which isnt therapeutic. Also, isolation from parents and/or the outside world isnt going to work terribly well for a lot of kids.
P.S. stop doubleposting.
Don't laugh when you leave this courtroom, thinking you have beat the system because you have looked these things up yourself. We are going to get you down the road.
