Free, I was in a program too - & abused and most everyone else on here too. It's not an excuse to be a bitch and an asshole to others who have been through the SAME THING (or sympathize with us or whatever) - abuse has NO JUSTIFICATION - neither does your acting like a twat - like I said, for someone who hates abuse, you sure dish it out pretty well, idiot.

I really hate sexism
Noticed this? not fond of any sexist men and hate the TV, hate sexist men too, really fucking hate sexist men
i want to say something to make my story less cut and dry
like it isn’t random enough but
i do not like abusive guys, i was not again asking for it
i just feel like that’s what horrible people would do with all this
women are not asking to be abused, simply put there are predators and young women in bad situations are vulnerable
as a kid i am not responsible for some serial killer that was stalking me, and they guy was normal and clean cut looking and he was still young, please do some research on stalkers they are horrible and they are insanely aggressive, they don’t go away, do some research on stalkers they are a weird breed and this guy was as bad as all the stories
i had no choice in that situation,
you can’t blame me for the guy that flashed me at the park?  How did i encourage or choose him?  Or the random kids who were sexually harassing outside of class i had never really spoken to before?  Not my fault there.
Or the guy at my apartment, i had talked to him a few times before when walking my dog, he was very clean cut, nice looking well spoken, he said he had been in the army for years in Colorado Springs, people don’t come with a warning label you know, he was babysitting his nephew the day he asked me out so there were little kids around, the little neighbor kids loved my dog, he seemed so normal he had this nice normal boring face and he was my age, i had moved away from the ex and all the kids at school were younger than me, it was nice to chat with someone my age, i didn’t know anyone in the new town.  
How the hell was i supposed to know he would attack me.  he wanted me to kiss him and i wasn’t sure enough about him yet to know if i wanted to go there, i wanted to get to know him better first and he attacked me, again he was the first date i had been on in like five years, i should have been more careful but i had kinda forgotten how dangerous really dating can be, like i should have made it a daytime lunch date or something.
My ex, he was not scary at all at first, in fact he seemed kind of wimpy and sweet
We met through mutual friends, his friend always hung out with my friends and we went to the same hippie parties, he was kind of a hippie, he had a good job and really liked me
I again actually hadn’t been dating much, he really acted very sweet,
He talked about his mom and his family a lot and how much he loved them, i know hello Norman Bates, he did go on about his mom a lot and somehow it was kind of creepy but i just thought he loved and respected his mom, he had this great Siamese cat that he also just loved and loved, he was kind of like a big kid, every one else thought the same thing and he was really well liked. He was really nice to me too, like more so then normal really, he brought me flowers all the time and other stuff like cute nice things,  he didn’t seem to drink more then anyone else, they were parties and i had just turned 21 it seemed like everyone had a beer in hand really, the only weird thing is that it didn’t really go at the pace i would have chosen, it seemed like it moved much faster then i would have wanted it to, and he was pretty good at making it so that it was more serious then i wanted it to be, and what he wanted tended to be the way it went and i wasn’t really sure how exactly it got there, he moved in after around six months, i would not at all have chosen this but i needed a roommate and my apartment was closer to work for him, it was one of those things that again was not something i wanted or would have chosen.  he did drink more then i thought i found out too, and after about a year he had yelled at me quite bit when drunk, over the next few months this escalated and i moved out but ended up living in a scary neighborhood near the school that had accepted me, the school that had accepted me was out of state too, long story basically i drove all over the damn country to live in a crappy neighborhood in a weird ghost town in northern new mexico and got good grades and saw some cool stuff but didn’t think i really had anywhere to live the next semester so can back to NC, moved back in with the boyfriend rather then scary parents, and as i have written about living with them perhaps you can see why.  So anyway he got a job out in Colorado and we moved out there, my idea to start looking out there because it is such a beautiful area and he was miserable with his job in NC so i thought a change might help his temperament and growing drinking problem out some,  it didn’t and the drinking and yelling just kept escalating.  Until the before mentioned situation was what i was left with.  It was sad because i thought i knew the guy, i thought he was someone i trusted somewhat at least, i thought he was my friend and that he wouldn’t hurt me, it was really scary realizing what a dangerous person really he was.  I think because everyone practically in my life that you are supposed to be able to trust has been dangerous.  Hell look at PV, i trusted that they were doctors or something at first and i thought they would help me and that it would be a normal good place, what did i get Nazis and horror, I sure as hell am not responsible for abusing myself or some weird character perversion by picking out to be abused by PV, had no hand in that.
So anyway what i’m saying is that there are a lot of abusive situations and people out there, and if you are sort of disenfranchised and young or trusting you have to be really careful.    
and things are not so black and white and all that
it seemed normal, life is a bit like PV sorry, on the outside it says one thing but it's scary as hell really

Dating a man doesn't always mean you are dating a "man". Lots of us male types spend most of our adult lives transitioning from being a boy to being a man. Some never manage to accomplish this feat either.

We call them republicans.

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.

I know i said something about having nightmares
They are weird they sort of follow a pattern
I tend to scare myself awake
I started taking sleeping pills but all that it does is that instead of one nightmare and i wake up i have two or three in progression and finally the last one scares me awake
Last night is a pretty good example of them
I dreamed i was in a sort of beige dust cloud with blue sky and some solid beige mixed in
It was really disoriented and i couldn’t tell which end was up
I felt horrified and sort of afraid for my life
All of a sudden a man starts yelling at me really scared and angry “do you know what a IED does to someoneâ€

Quote from: ""free nightmares""
Those are just last night but good examples of the sort of random fear they include
I have lots of where i’m on the lamb from PV staff, cops and assorted other large scary people, fighting off and running from attackers, someone i love dying or dead is also common,  in another recent one  I dreamed about this little kid getting hit by a truck while his mother watched, i was with the mother somehow so i felt how she felt
Great huh, there is this cross right out on the road next to my house where some teenage boy died so i guess that’s where i got it
swear not making it up
it's like a feeling of fear for my life with some horror thrown in I guess is how i would describe them
it's no damn fun either no joke
another theme is how real and horrible it is when your in it
and they tend to feel like they have some great insight into this
because they actually feel like you are there, again great huh
i get to feel how it feels to watch your son get hit by a truck very restful



Sorry to hear about the nightmares, they seem common with program survivors.  I know my step daughter has PV nightmares, SettleForNothingLess does, even my wife has PV related nightmares.  I don't have nightmares about PV, I have wish fulfillment dreams about meting out what I consider justice to the place...that's all I can say about that.

PTSD has come up a lot lately.  I would think any kid awakened in the middle of the night  by strangers and taken by force to a strange place and held against their will is the initial traumatic experience. :roll:

At least a criminal goes through due process before confinement.

Some of my patients are referred to me with a history of having been in a therapeutic boarding school. Once they have come to trust me they will share with me the kind of tales we find on this web site; horrific details of abusive and grossly inappropriate treatment. I have heard these stories too many times. The stories vary however. Occasionally I have heard some positive stories where a youth has been treated with respect and caring in an appropriately run facility, but even then it is against their will. I see very little evidence that even these kids have been helped. The bad stories prevail. I care deeply for youth I work with. I have a strong bias of positive regard for all youth I meet because I genuinely like adolescents. When I hear of mistreatment in facilities that are supposed to care for youth I feel the betrayal and see the harm it has done to my patient. My reaction has been one of extreme anger. This has mobilized me to be an activist in trying to address the system failings that allow these travesties to continue. How could any adult do differently if they are a decent human being and have normal instincts of care and concern for kids? It horrifies me that in our society we can enter into a mass denial that lets these facilities exist....

Involuntary residential care outside of such a legal process cannot be therapeutic, no mater how humane and well intended the staff, as it undercuts and essential aspect of adolescent development, the achievement of autonomy. It is NOT therapeutic because the loss of rights does damage to a sense of self. It undercuts the formation of a personal identity. As with restraint and seclusion, it may be necessary to save a life, but it has a very large cost. It represents a failure, or an absence, of community-based treatment. In such circumstances, such active coercion needs to be ended in the shortest possible time, preferably only a few days. Individuals detained, even in a state of psychotic thinking, should be offered trauma support and counseling, similar to what is commonly recommended after an episode of restraint, to undo the damage caused by such coercion.

hey i'm not nuts i  was just watching msn video with some msnbc videos thrown in
it's still bad though but at least its not as obvious
made me feel like one of those twilight zone episodes where everyone has a third head and no one notices but you, crazy man anyway
PTS dreams are horrible and i agree that the being woken in the night and carted off to a prison camp for two years with no trial probably caused them, also being in the prison camp and the trauma before
it's fricken non stop is all i can say, out of the frying pan into a gulag

good for them but what about those of us who were sent away for nothing who did no drugs who had no evaluation or diagnosis who commited no crime but were contantly told we were lying and being manipulative and so you just made stuff up b/c they didn't want the truth they wanted uncontested control and profit. what do those of us who were wrongfuly imprisoned do ...had i done anything 'bad' i could at least make some sense of it but i was just a causualty and my experience with thought control was devastating and i'm angry
