really though,
the people who should feel best about what good they have done in the past year are those that maintain websites such as this one that give survivors a forum to discuss the abuse they indured!

they really have done the most good by far, thank you

also as far as my family life goes,
it is certainly bad at times but if you think about it, it is not that unusual in context of reality and history.
While everything I said has been true, there are long intervals between abusive situations usually.  
In general the mindset around here is one of the hardest things,
ie. you were abused as a very young teen because of, "interject sexual slur" or something
but as for history, if you look at it, this has been the teaching tool and a major control factor in relation to the place of women forever.
the abuse is by no means as bad as it could be and is avoidable usually
there isn't really an argument as toward right or wrong here,
it is more simply a situation of conflict abuse avoidance.
looked at from the perspective of say a woman in a 19th century household,
my situation was probably very common, in many countries it is still probably the norm,
It is not an abnormal situation I think is what I am trying to say.
It has much precedent, and many people have gotten through it or lived under it.
As an American I have tended to try to talk through things here,
to address problems and try to work through them in a "therapeutic" manner.  
THis is TV psychology anyway.  Real psychology, the Village has taught me, is very different.
From the perspective of a 19th century woman, talking through things would have most likely not come up.
You simply live and make the best of it and avoid abuse if possible.  
I don't try to help my parents see where there is abuse, this just makes them angry.  
I simply try to avoid that abuse.
we all watch too much Lifetime and have therefore come away with TV psychology admiring and demanding that an abused person get away immediately.
without understanding, from the perspective of that 19th century woman or PV survivor, where the hell was she to go?
marriage or prostitution were the usual options in the 19th century.  
Running away without planning never did any good.
taking the time to perhaps start a small business, or enroll in the one college that would take her,  
while this perhaps entailed living where she had always lived for a while longer, it certainly was a safer and a more rewarding path in the long term.  
I at least can finish college and avoid abuse for another year.  
And thank god, it isn't the 19th century,
I'm sure there will be a few instances of abuse, but who cares what my parents think or say?
It's past the point of being hurtful.  I just am worried as to if I am in any danger?
I don’t think I am if I am careful and don’t argue with them.
They are free I guess to look at the world as horribly as they please.  
my mother got back from vacation in a good mood, and life around here has been much better.
basically what I am saying is that I am fine.  
It is a  psychologically abusive place,
but it is manageable.
I have lived here this long, and done very well in school, although it always seems to get abusive around exam week which is hard.
this is not what I want it to be, none of life is really what I want it to be.
I figured that out a little while ago.  
It's not an ideal, it is simply what it is and you have to interact with it according to what it is.  
I can't change it here but I can work within it to get out of it
as far as all the sisters throughout history, space and time go, I should have some DNA that helps me through this.

Also as people have survived under such situations for forever and a day, this is not a dangerous situation.  
This is not some tabloid news crap, women rarely throughout time, people always like to act like your going to go postal if you complain, this is bull.  
Historically such situations are very rare really, while women living under men or families that use sexual prejudice is extremely common.
so anyway that is just another oppressive tool.  
to keep complaining to a minimum and to allow abuse.

Do you like your job?  Can you just tell your boss to go to hell and quit?  
No more can I tell my parents what I really think about how they view the world, and walk away.
It’s real life, I don’t have enough money and I need to finish college and I am accepted as an adult so I can’t live on campus.  
I’m glad I get to go to college at all, I’ve spent a great deal of time trying to get accepted to various Universities, usually only to be rejected because of my high school credits, or lack thereof, from PV.
 
But again while everything I have said is true, my parents are just people,
Certainly you must also have family members like them?  
they are able to be worked around if not reasoned with.
they are a mixed bag and I love them.  
they can be nice, it's hard to reconcile what else goes on sometimes.
Anyway it is simply a place to live and despite the horrible things I have talked about here, it is endurable until I finish school or can find some roommates, who aren't worse then my parents.
A lot of roommates really are worse then my parent
I said I liked Candide a lot.  this is why
the world as I have seen it, is out of the frying pan into the fire.
i'm building my own damn fire and I'm going to have a college degree so people can't do stuff to me and I can walk away if they get too nuts!

i guess somewhere in my head, I see PV staff going,
"she's addicted to abuse."
Like I like to be abused on some strange level or something.
people out of PV get what I'm saying here, although it probably sounds nuts to any one else.
it's just what PV does to you, idiotic slurs equivalent to
"she was asking for it."
that damn Jenny Jones school of psychology.
I could hear the argument, I am used to and acclimated to abuse and therefore have a higher tolerance for it, but that's about it.
Also PV certainly contributed to this.
I hate being abused.  I am very much against it.  I wrack my brain trying to figure out how I can afford to move out of here.
I am also poor, overworked, underpaid and trying to finish school.
It's not that bad here much of the time, although I think I have given you all a nice slice of why it is bad some of the time.

also this is pretty relevant to teens,
my family has always been like this.  
now you all tell me to move out, to stop abusing myself and such.
would you say the same thing to a teen?  
I think the teen should report the abuse,
although both ways of dealing might land them in PV.
moving out as a teen is running away
and reporting it could also certainly land you in PV.
what should teens in abusive families like mine do?

If that's the case, they must be addicted to inflicting abuse, because they provide it in quantities guaranteed to lead to an overdose.

There's no easy answer to that, I wish there were.  I can't remember if you've talked about it, but do you see a counselor at all?

This is straight out of the textbook abuse fantasy, that the victim secretly wants it.

No, not yet.  PV's policies make it very hard for the kids to stay in contact after they leave.  The former students end up isolated.

sounds like from McGregors philosophy,
PV staff would definetely fall under Theory X rather than Theory Y

Theory X
assumes that workers are basically lazy, error-prone, and extrinsically motivated by money
they need simple tasks, close monitering, and incentives to work harder

Theory Y
assumes that, given challenge and freedom, workers are intrisically motivated to achieve self esteem and to demonstrate their competence and creativity.


hmm just another random but important thought....
 
Jersey Gurl




Money making ignoramouses is what PV staff is. Obviously they are so oblivious and ignorant as to what professionalism is. They try to speak so highly of themselves, yet their actions are sabotaging them. I wish a psychiatric evaluation could be done on them. The facades they try to put up about being this big shot, immaculate treatment facility, is so obvious to those who can read between the lines, are completely false.
They are immature as well and in a way demented. I mean where do people get off snickering and cackling at those in need of real medical and therapeutic attention. Are their patients just their entertainment? how could any of the staff there "love their job"? unless of course they are sick in their own ways.
Maybe the snickering and crude remarks about their patients is really them transferring their own feelings onto innocent victims of their abuses.
The restraints are how they get out their anger. I mean come on, at the drop of a hat for no reason, boom... their goes a patient onto the floor. The pressure applied is very strong. Its almost as if they are trying to squeeze out their issues going on in their unstable and sick minds. Kind of transference again except on a physical level.
Like the opposite of self mutilation. self mutilation is a way of escaping from dealing with negative emotions. Staff on the other hand, basically in a way, each restraint is like another cut onto their arm.
I know for myself, if I worked one day at Peninsula, or any of these horrid RTCs, I wouldnt be able to live with myself. These people who are the staff there, claim to love their job. What person in their RIGHT mind would love the job they have? I dont know... something just doesnt seem right with that whole issue.
are their lives simply that pathetic? or is their a much deeper issue here?
Like i mentioned briefly before, what ever happened to Personell Psychology?
Personell Psychology for those that do not know, is:
a subfield of industrial organiztional psych. that focuses on employee recruitment, selection, placement, training, appraisal, and development.


sounds like this "psychiatric treatment facility" should work on their own "psychological issues, first starting in their "professinal work enviroment" and second maybe with themselves

just a thought.

I found it.. in the introduction handbook

" Many times parents feel angry, anxious, sad, and even guilty, not sure if they have made the right decision. be prepared that your adolescent is aware of these feelings and either consciously or unconsciously may attempt to arouse feelings of guilt and anxiety. there are some typical ways that adolescents attempt to do this.
The most obvious example of this attempt is the full frontal guilt attack. ""why did you put me here? you do not care about me. If you take me out of here I will do anything, I have realized I was wrong, please give me one more chance. Ill Kill myself if you dont take me out of here"" these attempts directly attack your feelings of guilt, uncertainty, and fear for your child.
The second attempt is more subtle and involves your adolescent misinforming, lying, or telling half truths to raise feelings of guilt and anxiety. Typical examples include: "" My therapist told me it was your fault I am here. The staff does not know what they are doing.""
The third example is an attempt to exploit normal parental concerns regarding an adolescents safety. Examples include;"" they are not feeding me. Staff makes fun of me. My peer is a violent psycho. Compared to other kids here my problems are not that serious""
Do not let these attempts to make you feel guilty work. As long as your child believes that he/she might escape responsibility he or she will not change. Often adolescents are actually terrified of change and their oppositional and defiant behavior is a way of avoiding dealing with the painful aspects of their lives. So of course they are going to continue to try to avoid responsibility and introspection. "

that came straight from the introduction to PV guide given to parents.
sounds to me like a desperate attempt to trun parents against their own children in order to rake in the money for them to wipe their sorry excuse for lifes asses.
Those are pretty powerful lines of manipulation dont you think? sounds like Peninsula themselves are trying to make their pathetic attempts to convince you work for THEIR advantage.
Sounds like uh..what they used to call "Splitting" telling you one thing and them the other.
Staff ridicules you constantly, yet they are telling parents right there in black and white that if their adolescent is telling them this, that it is just an " attempt to directly ATTACK the parents feelings of guilt, uncertainty, and fear for their child."
PV should have learned that they should get their story straight and quit the lies because lies always come back to bite you in the fuckin ass.



PV also states that they cannot admit anyone with an IQ below 85
Sorry but most staff dont seem to be much over that themselves.

They cannot admit anyone who is diagnosed with psychosis.
They are Psychotic for thinking they can get away with this shit

They seem to prey on the vulnerable teens who have issues such as:

---Depression or mood disorder

The approach on this issue seems to be HIGHLY increasing it, also gives staff a reason to laugh if you cry or try to talk about it

---Drug or alcohol abuse

Pudgeboy Pegler fiends these types of issues. I think he gets off on it. The pound by pound perv

---Oppositional beahvior or conduct problems

Defy their bullshit, theyll tie you to a bed

---Effects of traumatic experiences

Ah, this one, they do a great job of making your trauma disappear and bring on a new one. Trauma=PV

---Self endangering or self injurious behavior

They have a great rating of helping increase such behavior

---Out of control behavior and the ability to accept adult authority

Open your mouth, your done.




Yours Truly

My admission day to the village, from the beginning i knew i was in for a wild ride. It started with being escorted to the Village. I arrived in Knoxville and had one of those bad gut instinction feelings. I knew before I walked in this was not going to be pleasant. I was taken to the nurses station where I met with a nurse and then was brought up to STU now known as GAAU ((girls admission and assessment unit)). the place in itself is depressing. You walk through the doorways of hell. I was shoved into a metal chair in front of the staffs desk. I signed my life away. when i went to ask a question, i was shut down. then they said that I needed to be strip searched. my immediate reaction was fuck you you pervs. They led me into the bathroom where I had to strip all of my clothing except my underwear. Then they told me to pull my underwear to the side, bend over and cough to see if i was hiding anything in a territory that was private. I was crying and was told to quit being dramatic. I sat my practically naked ass on the cold floor when they told me to stand up, strip completley and take a shower in which the shower stall had half of a shower curtain. they told me it was to moniter me. this shocked me. i had never had anyone monitor my shower time. so i told them to go fuck themselves. with that i guess it infuriated them and two of the staff grabbed me by the arms and led me straight into the time out room. the room was bare. i had seen this shit in the movies but never actually experienced one. little did i know that that would become very familiar. I was told to sit with my back against the wall and not to talk. i needed to think about my actions. i was panic sticken. my anxiety was going through the roof. I threw up all over the floor in there which i was later made to clean up. then they asked me awhile later if i was willing to cooperate. i shrugged my shoulders and they showed me to my cubicle aka my bed. I was told once again to sit up straight with my legs crossed and not to look at anyone. If i could not follow this i would be escorted back to time out.
Well I was exhausted, so i leaned over onto my elbow. Some fat chick who was a patient and apparently one of the "trusted" saw me do this. she asked for permission to confront the new girl for laying down. I was like uh so what?! she was granted permission and she called a group. everyone stood. i was shocked i didnt know these robot patients were able to move. everyone was like a zombie. I didnt stand, for lack of this phenomenon not being explained to me. i was barked at the stand whenever group is called.
she confronted me and said thats all. everyone sat back down simultaneously. Drones i tell you.
Later on, i didnt give a shit so i laid down. fuck that fat bitch.
Staff came over and grabbed me by the arms and escorted me to the time out cubicle this time instead of the room because apparently the room was occupied. I was told to sit there not move and not talk and to stare at the wall of the cubicle. Well after awhile of sitting there, they gave me my meal which i ate on the floor. when i finished eating i stood up to go back to my coffin of a bed. Next thing I knew, I was grabbed, kicked in the back of the knees and fell to the floor. an extremely loud, obnoxious alarm went off. I was panic sticken worse than ever. what the hell is happening??? down on the ground I lay, face down with people sitting on me holding me down. one or two holding my legs, one on each arm, one sitting on my lower back, and one holding my head down when i tried to lift it up to breathe. I thought i was going to die. Felt my lungs collapsing. Still in shock, I vommitted once again. my face shoved back into it. ugh. What seemed like forever, they then picked me up, about 10 people. they carried me like some animal back into the forbidden time out room. i was stripped of my clothes by the staff and then dressed into hospital gowns with old blood stains on them. this is all while still being held down. later on, i was released and sent back to my bed. then there was group. i had to introduce myself and tell why i was in gowns. i had no idea why i was so i made some shit up.
later on there were showers and then some other sort of groups. i was told to make my bed just like every one elses. i didnt know what the standards for intricate bed making were so i made it like i did at home. i was yelled and criticised for that by some 23 year old counselor. finally after other bullshit, we went to sleep. if only i had been aware that bed time was the only semi peaceful time i would experience for the next 6 months.
damn


what a day what a day

Mind control.. its how these fuckers get away with what they do.. first, breaking the barrier of the parents who are worried sick about their troubled teen.. I dream about being able to do something like hacking in to find out when admit request information is made and then quickly send out a packet of info of my own thats not bullshit... Corruption is what is killing this world. Everything is so corrupt now a days... I live in Jersey, so you dont have to explain corruption to me. The whole state and its government here is totally corrupt. All of our tax dollars and homeland security money go to the mafia. The real Tony Sopranos.
Im getting off subject here dont get me started on corruption here either.
Saying right in the handbook sent to parents it says that dont fall into your childs manipulation trap. They are going to tell you how horrible it is here at the Village. They might tell you that other patients are much worse off then they are and that this place is terrible....HMM i find that interesting to put in the Welcome to PV Hell handbook. Take it and shove it farther than anything has ever gone.
People who dont believe in the corruption and manipulation in facilities like this and others, are blind to reality. Of course when they have you speak to former patients parents, they are only going to tell you great things about PV. How much it helped and how it completely turned their childs life around. Im sure those "actors" are paid off well by Covenant Health. All they see in potential victims...cough...i mean patients, are $$$$ dollar signs $$$$
lets see how long we can pull this off they are saying to themselves I am sure.
Like they truly give a shit about the kids there. THey could care less. Its just another 9-5 job. Like look at one counselor whos name I wont mention. She is a counselor at PV and had websites with highly disturbing images on them that she calls her art and expression with photography.
i dont know but if this is someones hobby who is one of the counselors supposed to be helping societys "troubled" youth, then my god.
real smart also to post it up on the internet... it was not hard to find at all.
im not saying that people cant have their own weird fantasies and shit, god knows i do in other ways, but for a PV counselor to post it on the internet is first of all stupid to do for her own sake, proves lack of maturity, shows how well PV looks into who they hire. what ever happened to personell psychology when considering someone for a position? how unprofessinal on their part and also its not like we are talking about hiring someone to work the day shift at a 7-11.
This is supposedly a highly accredited treatment center.
I mean when I was employed at a local medical center, the screening proccess was very specific and difficult to get in to be able to work there. I went through lots of interviews and background checks and personality tests, drug screenings, etc before I was hired. I was just a patient transporter. These people are the ones "caring for" your troubled teens.
Maybe Im old fashioned and believe in carefully screening an individual before hiring them.

Also no one ever seems to want to answer any questions that you may have. It was told to me when I was at PV that every time I was restrained or my medication changed, that my father would be informed about it. I asked him about that and he said they would call once in a blue moon to relay the message.
Like I said before I also requested to report a grievance that I had, which was about my bruises and physical pain. Some lady who I have no idea who she was came and met with me awhile later.
there is no such word in PVs vocabulary such as privacy. It is completely invaded and is taken away from you. For instance and I know this is a nasty subject but it seems important, when you had your period, and you used the bathroom, you had to wrap up your used feminine product and then show it out the stall door before you could flush your toilet. That is just fuckin wrong man.
Our bathroom times were on their terms to and timed. Before you went into the bathroom you had to hold up either one finger for urinating, two fingers for shitting, and some weird hand gesture if you needed to also change your feminie hygiene product. Jeez I dont know but being timed on your time to piss or whatever you needed to do, thats just flat out fucking ridiculous.
you had 1 minute to pee, 2 minutes for #2 and an extra 30 seconds if you needed to change.
god damn.
haha i dont know it just makes me laugh when i think about some of this bullshit because thats what it truly is. BULLSHIT

I think this is enough for the minute, I have to go to the bathroom and I now am so thankful to have the priveledge of not being timed. hahaha
 

sorry for the grossness but it is important

former PV patients will get this sarcasm:

((raises hand waiting to be called upon))
GROUP
((Everyone Stands))
Group I would like to confront Peninsula Village of being the scum of the earth
Thats all
((Everyone sits back down on their beds)))
((Leader records the confront later to be discussed in consequence group))

Leader: ((raises hand waits to be called upon)
may I have permission to ask the group to come to the day room for consequence group?

Horrid staff member:
You may

the group is informed to go to the dayroom for consequence group
sitting with their heads down, staff member enters the circle of chairs and leader asks to begin consequence group.
Consequence group begins.
heads rise from staring at the floor and Leader reads off the confronts and group is to decide an appropriate consequence for each confront.
When PVs confront is brought up the consequence has been decided after a vote. the results are:

WERE COMING FOR PAYBACK BITCHES!!!!!


 
Jersey Gurlthe amount of damage this place has caused is unbelieveable.
GED or High school graduates working as counselors, must be a good gig for them. Undereducated to understand the "troubled ones" issues. Bunch of horse shit.
malpractice issues.. scum
abuse and cruelty... intolerable
breaking the rules of clients rights... who would pay 100.000 to be made to be more fucked up than ever?
Sounds like great therapy to me.
PSHTTT
meal restrictions are rediculous... the low cholestorol diet, the finger food diet... haha that one always made me laugh espcially since this one chick who was on finger food restriction, cut her arm with a broken chicken bone. that was a classic.
I have to admit that being tied down to a bed all day and into the hours of the night.. i think that was the worst case of boredom I ever had... what is a chick to do when you cant even change seating positions or get a drink or much less piss is a frikin toilet and not a bedpan?
having meals fed to you like your an animal. staff would spoon feed me while im tied down. what fun.
should have spit it right in their faces. damn. wish i thought of that sooner.
I did manage to get them a few times tho. I put up a few good fights when a restraint was in my path.
Funny I had a nightmare the other night about PV. I was back there wanting to leave so badly. Somehow in my dream, i beat the undereducated staff to a pile of worthless waste, grabbed the keys, and got out. what fun that night of sleep was. HAHAHAH
Maybe Im sick but i dont give a shit, so are they.
the fuckkers are goin down.

There is something that really just bugs the shit out of me... Peninsula Village is to treat adolescents with depression, PTSD, anxiety, eating disorders, etc.
Now maybe Im old fashioned but these issues are where we need to help sufferers by helping them gain self confidence. PV breaks you down to a mere nothing. For example, before I went into PV I had extreme anxeity and depression issues. My mother passed away at a crucial age of 14 years old for me. I thought everyone in my High School here in Jersey didnt understand, that they were laughing at me and thought of me as some psychotic chick.
PV seemed to try and VERIFY that more than help me build my self confidence back up. I was told that I always blame others and do not look at myself. when on the contrary, I was always blaming myself and hated who I was. Breaking me down to that mere nothing, did the reverse of "mending my life and restoring my family". It fucked it up even more. I can remember feeling so low when I was there because not only was I depressed, but they helped me to feel like shit.
I do not think that people realize what all goes on there, but from a former patient, Ill tell you. I will keep coming back and posting more.

PV tends to beat the "truth" out of you. Always saying.. I know there is more than that that you need to tell the group. Fuck that. Bitchboy McLain can kiss my ass.
Pegler I kicked in the balls, literally, during a restraint.
He told me I had an addiction to sedatives. I threw it back in his face saying that I never touched one until I came to PV.
It cost over 8500 a month to stay there. Maybe its just me but I could have better used that money to go on a cruise or something nice. Im sure McLain and Pegler and all of them are living the life of luxury. Well, not for long. I dont give a shit, Ill fight em till the day I die. Like I said, Karmas a bitch and so am I.
We need to stand up for ourselves, and for the rest of the youth out there in a quest to bring this shit to an end. Fuck em. And fuck their bullshit.

PV in my OPINION.. is a money sucking corrupt company that takes advantage of parents who are extremely worried about their youths and uses that to keep the patients a coming. They want to manipulate parents by saying how wonderful they are, when from a past patients point of view, they are totally full of shit. They dont follow their guideline criteria for admissions and they dont know how to treat adolescents with depression, PTSD, anxiety, eating disorders. They always are telling you each time that you open your mouth that you are attention seeking and the consequences come up. They say that you have addiction problems even if you do not and they brainwash your parents or legal guardians into believing that when you tell them how terrible it is there that you are being manipulative and not responding properly to treatment.
I remember when I was there, I wanted to report a grievance that I felt I had about how I was being treated. Some illegitimate lady came to talk to me, and later on I had to process it in group. It was decided that I was in denial and that I needed to focus on how I am not taking responsibility for my actions.
My actions?!?? what about them taking responsibility for their actions?!?!?!
who is with me?

Karmas a bitch and so am I when it comes to these RTC asses. Im not afraid of em. Multibillion dollar companies? Take that and shove it. I will not back down, I will fight these pricks till I die. They wont intimidate me, they dont scare me. wanna send a hit out on me or some shit? it will come back to them. These mamalukes want to try and scare us out of putting them in their place. Well, they tried to "put me in my Place" and now its time to fight back. Whatever they say or do to me, I no longer live in fear. Im a pissed off victim. Screw em. Watch out were coming. At least I am.. WHos with me?

If we settle for nothing now, we will always settle for nothing.

There is no shelter here. The frontline is everywhere. they wanna fight, im ready.

We have got what it takes.. Renegades is what we are.. So once again who is with me?!?

 

Yea man, lets do it. Im not scared of any RTC pansies.

Now, Ill scream it from the rooftops, for everyone to hear.

I DARE YOU PV BITCHES TO TRY AND BREAK ME DOWN. IT DIDNT WORK THEN, AND IT SURE AS ALL HELL WONT NOW.

Thanks for posting, I got a question.... Outside of the STU I've heard that kids were forced to perform manual labor, I don't remember the specifics but could you elaborate on that. Was it described as a work therapy program?

i never got outside of the admission unit... they kicked me out after 6 months.. but in the parent guidebook one of their criteria for patients they cannot admit is that
"physical problems that would interfere with vigorous physical activity"
