I couldnt agree more with the last post. I know for me I came out swinging wanting to tear the place apart, whereas now while Id like to see it shut down or dramatically overhauled for what it does to children. Now however I feel being angry does nothing to the people Im angry at about how I was treated while there, or the family that claimed to love me and sent there for no reason. In reality none of those people care about me being angry, they never cared hence why they behaved the way they did. Instead I remember the fact that eventually they will get there comeupance and every secret will be revealed. If as some people have requested Len decides to come on this site, I'll tear into him. Same with Witherspoon, the drug counselors, or some of my peer group counselors. I'd also love to get my family on here and make them sift through the horror stories so they can realize where it was they sent me.
That being said though, it does little good to dwell on it. Instead I would rather focus on bettering myself and ensuring that no one else has to endure the same kind of torment that we did. I think that is best done through honest dialouge, not threats of violence much like Overlord and Jarhead seemed to employ. This is pointless and stupid and will accomplish nothing. Rather acknowleding the truth about what went on there, even if it has changed in recent years and admission by Len that wrongs were committed against the children he was supposed to be helping.
Pretending things didnt happen or mincing words accomplishes nothing.
Jarhead I have to say I'm a little shocked to see such a post coming from you. You seem to have been one of the major ones propogating the problem. I dont say this to attack you, rather to understand your change of heart better.
