So they are really highly trained! :roll:

Just a quick update.  WE GOT A LETTER FROM OUR BOY TODAY!!!!!  Somehow it was mailed to us directly, and wasn't sent through his mother.  We must have a secret angel at Redcliff!  The last we heard, the director of admissions refused to make any exceptions so we could get his mail directly.  We were so thrilled to see that envelope!

However, the letter broke our hearts.  It was so pitiful.  He says he doesn't know why he is there, and is begging us to come and get him.  It's horrible there.

It's killing us.  He KNOWS he didn't do anything to deserve this.  He KNOWS his mother is a nut case, and that's why he's there.  

I've had it.  Heads are gonna roll for this.  Whatever it takes, heads WILL roll.  And I know exactly whose head will be first!

You go girl!!
I'm really sorry for your pain. I know exactly how it feels.
My son's letters came direct but were written as if he were following an outline- reporting on how he was 'working the program'.
It sometimes happens that there is a reasonable and caring staff member who will do the etical thing. The counselor at the wilderness program let a letter pass that would never have gotten by the censors at the TBS. She was also the only staff that validated what I knew- he didn't need to be there.

it's awful the way they handle mail and letter writing in programs.  When I was in PCS, the less I wrote my parents, the better I did moving up the level system of the program.  :roll:
