"When I was there Laurel was definitely Mike's favorite and in many ways they were very tight...from what I saw, as a result of this, she was considered the model MMS student, so that is why I say that perhaps that kind if sense of superiority may have been reflected in her actions and perhaps she took its logical conclusion. While I was at MMS it was students like La that called people out and were responsible for holding girls accoutable to the programs philosophy. That sort of leverage always seemed to border on sadism to me b/c girls always wanted to be in that position of being 'healthy' enough to recognize not only their own 'flaws', but have the 'clarity' to point out those of others. Not everyone had that in them (that is, got an ego boost from their 'higher' position in the structure), from what I recall, but it always seemed to me to be a slippery slope that one could easily fall into if not careful."
I must say I agree with that statement.
I too saw La and Mike extremly close. Maybe thats why she views them as totally awesome people.
Mike has been everything but nice to me. He is mean, and rude, and thinks, yeah hes always right.
So Laura if you say La was like this, im not surpised. Even when I lived with heather he told how full of shit I am and how hes gonna be there to raise hell...(statement in regards to a situation with me and heather).
Paul my boyfriend talked to him once and says hes not to sure about him. "He always had the im full of shit look on his face" "like he doesn't believe what im saying", all i could say was, thats mike. Imagine having to deal with him for 3 years every day in and out.

kat, i appreciate your interest. the circumstances surrounding my being sent to mms is something i am comfortable talking with peole about...however, posting the intimate details of my life on a website does not interest me. suffice it to say, yes i acted out....yes i was depressed...but no i did not find everything i was looking for in mms. mms was not a cure for me, but provided me with some helful tools to deal with what had happened in my past and what was to come for me in my future. in some areas i felt very prepared, in some ways i felt abandoned and clueless. after returning home from mms i struggled...especially since no one was around to tell me what to do. eventually i learned that i had to seek out help and ask for it....since that realization the quality of my life has drastically improved. after mms i had to fill in the gaps they left behind but i still use some of what i learned there to improve myself.
kat, if you have any questions i would be more than willing to share myself specifically with you. my email- lleezell@yahoo.com
