An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

pretty twisted.  How many times do we hear someone justifying all manner of self-indulgence because they had to do it "before someone else does".  There is indeed always a way to capitalize off of someone else's misery.  When the Glass-Steagall act was killed Wall Street figured they had to get in there and rope in some suckers with their usurious, crappy mortgages, chop them into bonds, sell the bonds around the world (bonds like the ones that bankrupted Iceland), creating a world financial crisis "before someone else does".  Then they had to sell credit default swaps as insurance against the bonds "before someone else does".  and whaddya know?  The cockroaches crawled out of the woodwork to rip off the
poor suckers in foreclosure "before someone else does".

If I sent my kid to a program and it did not work I would want to burn the place down, not line my pockets by sending other kids to their doom.

Were you in Spring Creek Lodge, Max? Were you ever in the Hobbit? Please explain to me how that was not abuse.

It's long been known I choose to keep the name of the private program I went to, to myself. As far as I know this is not against the rules. But let's imagine for a moment I was placed in isolation in a treatment program. I could tell two version of the story. One version in which I am a victim of an evil program putting me in an isolation prison cell. The other a more honest, and accurate story of how a program decided to save me from myself. One event, two different interpretations. You've only read the first interpretation, in time I might share the latter if I feel comfortable enough. I had enough lying to suit an agenda, and censoring self incriminating details of my own experience to make myself appear as a victim. Perhaps other people are innocent victims of programs. I am not. My family,and everyone who worked at the program was a victim of my behaviors, not the other way around. Yes a program saved my life. Yes it took some extraordinary measures because I was willing to do whatever it took to destroy myself. Lucky for me they were willing to do whatever it took to save me as well, for that I will be eternally grateful.

I don't believe for a moment you were ever in a program.  You manner is too glib, heavy on the what ( "saved my life") but lacking in the "how".  If you had really been in a program you would not want to deprive the needy parents looking to place their kid.  I believe you just don't want to answer questions that would come up and expose your lies.  Of course, after your last little game you have no credibility anyway.  You sound like a late-night infomercial .
