An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

As i said before i was a student at Kolob and like the previous posting said our therapists came to Kolob we didnt go there. we also had a runaway who was returned within a few hours. also i think the money was well worth it. i have been clean for 7 months now and am doing great with my life. if you ask my parents they will also tell you it was worth the money because they no longer check on me every morning to see if i have killed myself or overdosed on drugs. they see how happy i am and we are all grateful. and the owners of kolob are great they came and spent time with us even brought their families to see us. they both knew about us and took time to talk to us. if they were just in it for the money they wouldnt take time fromtheir lives to be involved in ours.

There's so much comedy on television.  Does that cause comedy in the streets?

first off i definately wasn brainwashed. and i was there with other girls who werent there for drugs either. one girl i was close to was there for cutting and she hasnt cut in 8 months. it doesnt sound like a long time but when you cut every day for years 8 months is alot. and me ive only been off of drugs for 6 months but after using every day for four years it has been a struggle. and yea it sucked being there but it was good because god only knows where i would be if i never went. i was on the verge of dropping out of hs and getting kicked out of my house. i was stealing money from family friendsand whoever else i could i was sleeping with people for drugs and hated my life. i think it was a good place because now i have the life i deserve and know i deserve. kolob didnt fix my life but they showed me the skills i needed to take control of my life so i could "fix" it myself and i have. and no not every one is successful after a stay in an RTC and no one can make you change they can only show you what you need to do to change. so before any of you tell me i was "brainwashed" or that rtcs are bad and they abuse children why dont you talk to some kids who have been there. or talk to my parents who at one point i hated and they are now my best friends. i call my mom 3 times a day now. at one point i couldve have never seen her again and been happy. and them now they see me as their daughter and who i was meant to be and how much i can amount to. i see myself for what im worth instead of seeing myself as a waste of life.
