An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

Thank you Denisha. Thank you very much. I am trying to understand the experiences my love had in that hateful place. I have a lot to learn but I am not sure how far to go. Too learn to much may violate secrets he is not ready to share.

I think anyone who is involved with someone who suffered Straight should care about it. It is like having gone to war - and I believe that place left deep scars; hence this website and all the others. He talks about it but in small doses... I love him and am interested in all the experiences he had (good or bad) that made him the man he is today.

I will save your email if that is ok - and will be writing soon.

Thanks for letting a Straight "Spouse" share in your experiences.

I am sorry to say that Chris Bartoloni has passed away this past Friday. Very very sad. He was a great great kid - Anyone from Stoughton Straight out there remember Chris?

Anyone remember these guys from Stoughton?
Matt N? Braintree
Shawn Williams(brother and sister)
DeNesha Williams
Jim Stork
Joe Matz
John Kennedy
Jason DeMeers
Jeff Gonzalez
Dave Decktor (host old comer)
Where are all the Boston Straightlings?

Thanks for the feedback.

My boyfriends buddy went to Straight in Virginia first before Boston opened. I think he went in around 86. Last name Jones. He came to Boston when Boston opened as a 5th phaser I think. He still knows all the songs and will sing them on cue. They used to have to sing "we are the world, we are the children" at open mic night. My sweetheart is now 37 and still is afraid of Straight.

My boyfriend was a victim/prisoner of straight, inc in stoughton for 35 days. During that time he copped out and was caught and dragged back 3 times. I dont need to tell you guys the abuse from the group he took for attempted cop outs. He finally got wise that he might be able to escape at 18 and he pretended he loved it for the final 12 days. On his 18th birthday (day 35) he took his seat in the front row. The moment group started he held up 3 finger - "W" for withdraw and when the 5th phaser came over he said "Im 18 and I want out". The brought him a pice of paper and a clip board and told him to wrte down what he wanted. He wrote "I am being held against my will and I want out Immediatly". He said they kep trying to hold him in the office and he basically fought his way out as they tried to detain him and get a court order to keep him in. He ran out of the parking lot just in time to see his father and brother come roaring up around the corner. He escaped and eventually convinced his parents it was not for him. Reading these posts help me understand because there is a lot he wont talk about. I feel for all of you. I saw a video of people "motivating" and it was like watching a bad horror movie - like invasion of the body snatchers.
On another note - someone else from Straight passed away. For those of you from Stoughton, MA - if you remember Chris Bartoloni (maybe 87 - 89)I am sorry to tell you he died Friday or Saturday.

If anyone from Stoughton cares to share their experiences - please respond.

Thanks
