An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

OK all you catz and freakettes, I've done read the last 6 pages in their entirety, still wondering why. FIRST- lemme say that the obvious freakin reason, man, that the names were put up in the first place is the same reason I came here, cause I was there, wanna see if I recognise anyone and if anyone recognises me. I never got a chance to REALLY talk to anyone in there, it was forbidden. Like, what kinda music ya dig? Hendrix? right on! My first instict seein this site, before I read this string, was, where is everybody? So even though I see all the points made, I find it hard to believe that our little stroll down memory lane is gonna affect anyone outside this forum, DNC or whatever. I'd say lets mention so n so, 'cause ya never know how ya just might hook up with them. The names were also simply a list, does anyone remember them? It wasn't derogatory, or anything. Christ!

Anyway, y'all just took me on a hardcore memory trip. 16 years and I've never met anyone who was also in there, then to stumble on this. I'll be 32 in Sept. so that was half my life ago. Every once in a while I'll be falling asleep and dream about what it would be like to go back in time, knowing what I know now. Right from the intake, telling everyone what was who. Yeah man, I point out every little flaw in their doctrine, wich is motivation by fear. All in all I get everyone in there to say "yeah, what the fuck, fuck this place". But basically I'd romantisise putting staff fuckers in their place.

I had nightmares for a couple years where I'd wake up having thought I was back in that place. 4 days short of a year in there and I never got off 1st phase. I think I was also the only person not to get restrained. When I got out, everyone said I was yellow, that beautiful flourescent tan I got in there! My Dad finally withdrew me, and I went to AA meetings and stayed sober for 8 1/2 years. Truth is, same reason I never advanced, is that I only smoked pot for 6 months prior to going in, and drank even less. Hell, I was 16! So when I turned 25 and got sick of all the AA gurus, and realizing I never had a problem in the first place, I did some field testing. Still just smoke a little herb, drink a little, but I never go out of my way for either. At 25 I had to figure out what kinda beer I liked! Life is good, and they said I'd die! And I believed it! LOL! Sorry I wrote a freakin book, dig you catz later...

Yeah man, I was there. This is the first I'm able to communicate with anyone else since thats been there. Mark Glover is one of the bastards you're refering to. I watched this cat go from 4th phase to being a staff member, stayed at his house when he was still a client. He's the only guy I'd still really like to kick his ass. I was there from 89' to 90', 4 days short of a year. I think they stopped, yeah, they did, motivating only a few weeks before I got withdrawn. It was funny, the staff still encouraged motivation, but a little too much you got scolded. I never really got off 1st phase the whole time 'cause nobody believed my drug list. Hell, I smoked pot for 6 months prior to going in and drank even less. I was 16, in 10th grade and played in a band. Pretty freakin normal shit. I remember Glenn, he was an asshole. Always bragging about his fish tank. I had kinda looked up to the main head honcho though, can't remember his name, but the big black guy, big time administrator. Do you remember Jonothan Dupree? Mike, uh, christ, he copped out more than anyone. Andy white? Well, I'm Tom Marshall. They called me jumpin' man for a while cause I jumped out a 3 story window when I escaped. I think I was the only one in my time there never to get restrained. I think that pissed them off more than anything, cause I never advanced either, so they took me on bomb squads. Everything toned down around the time motivation stopped. Lots of cases of infetigo. Well hell, Later bro...
